Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Muffins:
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (preferably pure)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Sourdough Discard/Active Starter
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter (for filling)
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and prepare a muffin tin with large bakery-style liners.
  2. Combine brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Cream softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, eggs, milk, and sourdough until well combined.
  4. Incorporate baking powder and all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fill the muffin liners halfway with batter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar filling.
  6. Top with remaining batter, filling to three-quarters full, then sprinkle with leftover cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to create glaze.
  10. Drizzle over cooled muffins. Allow glazing to set before serving.
