Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil melted (see note for other oil options)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- In a liquid measuring cup or in a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, granulated sugar, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry and using a rubber spatula or large spoon, fold and mix until just incorporated (no overmixing unless you want dense, dry muffins!). The batter will be on the thick side of things.
- Fill the muffin tins evenly, 1/2 to 2/3 full, and bake for 14-16 minutes until the top lightly springs back to the touch.
Notes
- Coconut Oil: if you don't have or don't want to use coconut oil, try subbing in anything from canola to vegetable to melted butter. The batter will be thicker if using coconut oil.
- Doughnuts: also, this recipe transitions beautifully if using a doughnut pan. It makes about 12 doughnuts but remember they'll bake much faster than the muffins - mine are done in about about 9-10 minutes.
- Adaptations: this recipe is fantastic for lots of add-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, lemon zest, etc.). I usually toss the blueberries or chocolate chips or whatever other dry add-in I'm using with the dry ingredients so they are coated with flour and then mix extra gently when adding the wet ingredients. The plain muffins are also delicious dipping the tops in butter (after baking) and then in cinnamon and sugar.
- Sour Cream Substitutions: if you are wondering about sour cream substitutions, I have made these a time or two with yogurt, buttermilk and even milk kefir, but maybe because I love the original so much, my preference is to use the sour cream. Feel free to experiment!
