Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) degrees. Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin papers.

Step 2

Stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

Stir together the flour, sugar and cinnamon until there are no lumps.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter. It should form crumbles and feel like damp sand.

Step 5

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 6

In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.

Step 7

Add in the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure there are no lumps of butter.

Step 8

With the mixer on a low speed, mix in about 1/2 of the flour mixture, followed by the sour cream.

Step 9

Beat in the rest of the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are combined. Be very careful not to over mix the batter.

Step 10

Spoon about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter into the bottom of each lined muffin cavity. They should be about 1/4 to 1/3 full.

Step 11

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each muffin cavity. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffins.

Step 12

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of muffin batter on top of each muffin. After covering the cinnamon sugar layer of all 12 muffins, add a little extra muffin batter on top of each if you have batter left. The muffins papers should be about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

Step 13

Sprinkle the crumble on top of each muffin. You want the top of each muffin to be evenly covered with small crumbles.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for about 23-27 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Step 15

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and continue cooling on a wire rack.

Step 16

Whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Whisk in a little extra milk or powdered sugar as needed. It should be thin enough to drizzle, but still white in color.

Step 17

Drizzle the glaze onto the cooled muffins.
