- Place six muffin liners inside a 12-cup muffin pan and set it aside. Adjust oven temperature to 425 F/220 C.
- Brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter should all be mixed until crumbly. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined. Before usage, let them cool in the freezer for at least half an hour and then break them into little pieces.

- Three-quarters cup all-purpose flour, one-half teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda, and one-half teaspoon of fine sea salt

- Two large whole eggs, one cup granulated sugar, one cup salted butter, one ¼ cups buttermilk, one ¼ cup sour cream, one ¼ cup canola oil, and one tablespoon vanilla essence
- Fill each cup of the prepared muffin tin with approximately ⅓ cup of the batter. The muffin liner should not be completely filled with batter. (For reference, view the photo in the post.) Bake for 8 minutes at 425F; after that, without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350F/180C and continue baking for an additional 10 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

- Measure your flour properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*
-
Use a cookie scoop to portion the batter; it’s a game changer because it’s way easier than a measuring cup!

-
For tall muffin tops- overfill the liners. The muffin batter should sit taller than the liner.
