Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter melted

Coffee Cake Muffins

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • In a clean bowl, whisk together the 2/3 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons salt and orange zest.
  • Add the four tablespoons of melted butter and stir until well mixed and crumbly.
  • Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Coffee Cake Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the orange juice, sour cream, melted butter, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add sour cream mixture to flour mixture and fold in just until incorporated – the muffin batter will be thick.
  • Using a muffin scoop, fill each paper liner with about 1/4 cup of batter. Evenly top the muffins with a generous spoonful of crumb topping.
  • Place muffin pan in the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425°F. Without opening the oven door, reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 14 to 15 minutes (for a total baking time of 19 to 20 minutes) or until muffins are golden, tops spring back to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Muffins are done baking when the internal temperature reaches 200°F.
  • Let muffins cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool.
