How to Make Muffins Moist

When it comes to baking a moist muffin, the fat is where it’s at.

These snickerdoodle muffins have a whole stick of butter and a cup of sour cream in the batter.

They aren’t diet-muffins, but they are moist and SO delicious!

Now, I wanted to share why these are my hubby’s favorite muffins.

He’s a bigtime coffee-drinker, and his favorite dessert recipes are the ones that he can best enjoy with a hot mug of coffee.

The first time I handed him one of these big, delicious snickerdoodle muffins, his eyes lit up.

He says these are the perfect muffins with his coffee and he always asks me to make this recipe!

Zach also really loves these lovely ambrosia muffins.

How to Make a Muffin Crumble

There’s just something special about the texture and flavor of a crumb topping.

It adds so much flavor to the muffins and also makes them oh-so-pretty.

For our snickerdoodle muffin crumble, you’ll need the following ingredients.

• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Know what’s incredible about our snickerdoodle muffins? Part of that crumble actually goes right into the batter, and the rest is reserved for the tops of the muffins.

Brilliant!

Of course, you’re going to need a great muffin tin. This one is my absolute fave!

These muffins are perfect any time of the year, but, they do make a special treat during the holidays.

Cinnamon always puts me in the mood for Christmas! :)

I hope you love this recipe. Be sure to leave a comment if you give it a whirl!
