Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened (not melted)
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Dunkin’ Donuts® Extra Extra Creamer

Crumb Topping:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dunkin’ Donuts® Vanilla Creamer
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg optional, for a warm spice boost

Instructions
 

  • Let’s walk through the steps to your sweet success.

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • You want your oven to be at the right temperature for an even bake. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). It’s always a good idea to do this first, so the oven is ready when you are.

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin

  • Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or grease it lightly. This will prevent sticking and make clean-up a breeze. Additionally, it helps keep those muffins nice and moist.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This step ensures that all the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the flour, giving your muffins a nice rise.

Step 4: Cream the Butter and Sugar

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with the granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes. Incorporating air into the mixture at this stage is vital for that fluffy texture.

Step 5: Add the Eggs and Sour Cream

  • Break the eggs and add them, along with the sour cream and vanilla extract, to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until everything combines smoothly.

Step 6: Fold in Dry Ingredients

  • Now it’s time to slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can create dense muffins, and that’s not what we want!

Step 7: Add Dunkin’ Donuts Extra Extra Creamer

  • Gently fold in the Dunkin’ Donuts Extra Extra Creamer. This will enrich the muffins and add that signature Dunkin’ taste.

Step 8: Make the Crumb Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix it until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9: Fill Muffin Tins

  • Scoop the muffin batter into your prepared tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a generous amount of crumb topping over each muffin.

Step 10: Bake

  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown on top.

Step 11: Prepare the Glaze

  • While the muffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and Dunkin’ Donuts Vanilla Creamer to create a simple glaze. Add the fresh nutmeg if you’re feeling fancy.

Step 12: Cool and Glaze

  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins. This adds extra sweetness and a lovely finish.

Notes

Here are some handy tips to ensure your muffin-making adventure is a total success:
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Bringing your eggs and sour cream to room temperature ensures they blend more easily into the mixture.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Gently fold your batter to keep those muffins light and airy. No one likes a dense muffin!
  • Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add nutmeg or vanilla to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Check for Doneness Early: Ovens can vary; check the muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent overbaking.
  • Cool Completely Before Storing: Let the muffins cool entirely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain fluffiness.
