Description
Delicious mini coffee cake bites made with sour cream, topped with a crumb mixture, and drizzled with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- Crumb topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Mini Muffins:
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- Glaze:
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cream or milk (you may need a little more)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with oil. I don’t recommend using liners.
- For the crumb topping, using a fork, combine butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix in the flour until fully incorporated.
- Continually mix until the mixture is crumbly, breaking apart any overly large clumps as necessary. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sour cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt (mixture should be completely smooth).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour and baking powder and mix until incorporated (batter will be thick). Do not over mix.
- Scoop batter into the mini muffin pan, filling the cups about halfway. Top each muffin with a generous amount of crumb topping, gently pressing it into the batter as you top each one.
- Bake for 10 – 11 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove.
- For the glaze, in a small bowl mix together powdered sugar, cream/milk, and vanilla extract (if glaze is too thick, add a splash more cream/milk). Drizzle over muffins and serve.
Notes
- These mini coffee cake bites are best served warm.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for added flavor.
