Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins

Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins are so moist and topped with the most delicious streusel. You’re going to love these classic muffins!

Coffee cake muffins are a classic for a reason. They’re super delicious and easy to fall in love with. In this recipe, I add sour cream to add moisture to the muffins. The result is a perfectly delicious moist muffin base. Finished off with delicious streusel crumbs!

Why is there no coffee in coffee cake muffins?

Now, before anyone gets mad, there’s no coffee in the coffee cake, so I didn’t miss an ingredient or do anything weird or unconventional. No doubt there will always be some nasty comments about it. The coffee cake is called because it is traditionally served with coffee, not because coffee is an ingredient.

Variation: Layered Streusel

I keep this recipe super simple. If you want to do something a little more complicated, you can always layer the streusel topping into the muffins. Simply fill the bottom of a muffin tin with enough batter to cover the bottom, then add a scoop of streusel. Cover with more batter, filling muffins about 3/4 full, then top with another scoop of streusel.

Layering the streusel will give you more delicious streusel flavor, but it will cause the muffins to fall apart a bit. Be sure to give the batter a solid base layer before placing the streusel in the center.

Storage Instructions:

These muffins will keep for 3-5 days. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container or plastic bag. Make sure to let baked goods cool completely before storing, otherwise the heat of the bread will release steam and you’ll end up with soggy bread.
