- 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.
