Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Turbinado sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners or lightly grease the tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a delightful crunch.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
