Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt) (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  6. Fill muffin cups three-quarters full with batter and generously sprinkle crumble on top.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
