Description

Enjoy the sweet flavor of a sour cream coffee cake in a muffin form with these easy treats filled and topped with a blend of cinnamon-sugar and walnuts.

Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 Combine brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a bowl for the filling/topping.
3 Beat butter, sugar, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and combine well.
4 Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture and combine well.
5 Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of filling mixture in the middle of each muffin and top with 1 tablespoon of batter. Sprinkle remaining walnut mixture on top.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
