Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins
"I actually got this recipe from a Bed & Breakfast that I once stayed at. I was so impressed with these muffins, I had to ask for the recipe. Much to my surprise, the pastry chef gave it to me and asked nothing in return. I lost this recipe and found it recently...OMG It's a keeper!"

Would it work if I melted the butter before combining with the other ingredients?

These were very good. I left out the walnuts. The muffins were moist and had great flavor, just the right amount of cinnamon. I used a large muffin tin and got six very large muffins. -

Quick, easy, attractive, and tasty! I even cut the fat by using non-fat Greek yogurt for half of the sour cream and low fat sour cream. Also, I got 16 regular sized muffins.

I have been trying various muffin recipes in preparation for a bake sale. I'll just say this -- I will be making these for the sale! Delicious and rich, yet fluffy! So delicious! I used paper muffin liners, pecans, and low fat sour cream. Otherwise, I followed these directions, and they were a success! -
Made these for a brunch on Sunday and they were very easy to make and DELICIOUS! They do make more than 12 muffins since mine ended up huge! I would go to 14-16. Mine were so big they stuck together but still tasty and everyone loved them! highly recommend! -
These were absolutely delicious! I made them without any kind of nuts in the topping and it was great! The batter is really thick... almost like a dough but because of the other reviews I read here I knew not to be alarmed. I cooked mine for 20 minutes and they were perfect! Great recipe! Thank you!

I did not have walnuts so I used oatmeal (ground up) and also added about 1 cup of cinnamon chips that I had left in the pantry.

Awesome coffee cake muffins. I used ground pecans instead of walnuts. I also baked them in a popover pan which gave me a little larger more rounded muffin, looks like a little coffee cake shape. I got 10 muffins and they baked up nicely in 22 minutes. They are all gone and my family is looking for more. Thanks for sharing this recipe! A keeper.
