Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix the sour cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, egg, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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 can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
