6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. While the muffins are cooling, prepare the sour cream glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins and serve.
11. Enjoy these delightful sour cream coffee cake muffins with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
