Made with wholesome ingredients like tangy sour cream, rich melted butter, and a dash of pure vanilla extract, these muffins are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed any time of day. With just 10 minutes of prep time, this easy-to-follow recipe yields 12 golden-brown muffins that are soft and tender inside, thanks to the secret ingredient—sour cream, which ensures exceptional texture and moisture.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack, they’re as quick as they are crowd-pleasing!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey!
