Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) to make the streusel topping.
Spoon a tablespoon of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the streusel mixture on top, then add another layer of batter to fill the cups about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
