Description

Perfect for breakfast, as a snack or even as a dessert.  These muffins freeze well and they are definitely kid friendly.  You can leave the streusel topping off, but why would you?  It makes the muffin that much more delicious.

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Generously spray your muffin tins with cooking spray.  This recipe makes 1 1/2 dozen so you will need to spray that many muffin cups.  
  3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.  Set aside.
  4. In a stand mixer, cream together sugar and butter.
  5. Add eggs, on at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Add heavy cream and sour cream and mix.
  7. Add flour mixture gradually until flour is completely incorporated.

Notes

  • Do not overfill your muffin cups.  It’s not good, trust me.
  1. To Freeze: Once muffins have cooled, place them in a gallon freezer bag, or tupperware container, and freeze. 
  2. To Thaw: 
    1. Method 1: Take the desired amount of muffins out the day before and let them thaw on the counter.  I usually put the muffins in a baggie so they don’t dry out.
    2. Method 2: Take the desired amount of muffins out and wrap them in a paper towel.  Defrost on the quick defrost setting on the microwave.
