2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup milk

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Fill muffin cups ¾ full with the batter.
6. Mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle generously on top of each muffin.

8. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until ingredients are combined to avoid dense muffins.
For an extra cinnamon kick, double the cinnamon-sugar topping.
