Ingredients
for the muffins
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
for the cinnamon sugar swirls
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
for the buttery crumb topping
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons butter, melted
for the glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 2–3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease 10 standard size muffin tins and line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, beating until combined. Add the eggs in one at a time. Add the sour cream, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it begins to come together (not fully incorporated). Set aside.
- Next, make the cinnamon sugar swirl and the crumb topping. In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients for the brown sugar swirl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients for the crumb topping. Add the butter and mix together until the mixture clumps together. Set aside.
- Use a large spoon to drop coffee cake muffin batter into prepared muffin tins, filling them up about 1/2 of the way. You can use a small cookie scoop or if you want to be precise, drop 2 Tablespoons to keep things consistent. Drop a large spoonful of the brown sugar mixture over the bottom layer of the muffins. Top the brown sugar middle with the same amount of muffin batter to fill the muffins up about 3/4 of a way.
- Top each muffin with a large spoonful of crumb topping, gently pressing into the top of the muffin so that it sticks.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then turn oven down to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- While the muffins cool, make the glaze. Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the crumb topping. Enjoy!

So happy you enjoyed these!
Made these just this morning. They were fluffy and bouncy. Not too sweet. Just delightful. If anyone runs into the concern of the cinnamon mix being too runny. Then make all the different layers of the muffin. Wait 15 for all the layers to firm up THEN assemble and bake. It’s was lovely absolutely lovely. Will make it again. Also her tip of baking muffins and cupcakes in every other cup on the muffin tins works like a charm. All of the muffins were beautiful domed.
Love these! Very moist and definitely has the coffee cake flavor.

Made these today and they turned out really soft and delicious. The layer of brown sugar in between the muffins gives it a really nice taste. Really enjoyed them. Will definitely make again! Thank you so much for the recipe!
