Maple Sour Cream Muffins With Walnut Topping

Sour cream in muffins does something amazing.  

Ingredients

For batter:

1 cup sour cream

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup maple syrup

3 tablespoons of honey

1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1/4 cup butter

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of nutmeg

for topping:

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

preheat oven to 350

1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter 

2. add maple syrup and honey and beat until well combined

3. add eggs one at a time

4. add sour cream and vanilla extract

5. mix dry ingredients together

6. incorporate dry ingredients into wet ingredients in portions

7. put into cupcake/muffin tins (makes about 20 cupcakes sized muffins and about 12 muffins)

8. make the dry topping by mixing all the ingredients together until crumbly

9. top the batter with the dry topping until you can't see the batter underneath it, that is, top them generously.  there will probably be some more dry topping leftover but set aside because when the muffins start to rise and expand you may need to add more.

10. bake in the over for 20 minutes
