I love muffins. I might even love muffins more than I love cupcakes and cookies. Yes, a lot. I love them a lot. Eating a muffin for breakfast? Acceptable. A muffin for snack with honey? Acceptable. Chompin’ on one while making a snack? A heathy choice, duh. I rest my case.
Lara had to go and make apple muffins and remind me how much I wanted to eat the shit out of some. So I made some. And by “some” I mean like 18. That’s a lot of snacks, guys.
I’m a freak and I love sour cream in baked goods. Not like on my tacos, but in my cake. I know, it’s real odd. However, it is damn tasty in a muffin. Trust.
And like, you can’t deny that they aren’t good lookin’. Okay, so I’ll cut to the chase. How to make these beautiful muffins of your very own is below.
Apple Sour Cream Muffins
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 ¼ cup sour cream
¼ honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
4 apples (I chopped one and grated three because I got sick of chopping…)
Step 1, get excited. Step 2, mix all dry ingredients into an awesome bowl. Step 3, in another awesome bowl, combine all wet ingredients including sugar and honey. Step 4, combine both awesome bowls and be sure not to overmix. Step 5, put them in pretty muffin cups and into the oven at 350º for about 18 minutes but you should check them at 15. They’re done with a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
BOOM!
Um, these look pretty awesome. Why would you be weird for liking sour cream in baked goods?! It makes them so [working up the courage to use my least favorite word ever….] moist!
Thank you for including step 1. Totally the most important step of baking/cooking!
Yum… I don’t think it’s weird that you like sour cream in baked goods… I do too!
Um sour cream in baked goods is delightful. So delightful. Gives such a good tang. And I can’t wait to make theeesseeeeeeeeeeeee.
I’m drooling at my desk. Like for real.
Ok, so I’m not sure what happened but your feed wasn’t showing on my reader, I guess I never updated the new domain? Happy I have you back 😉 These look delicious!
Sour cream in baked goods is key. These look delish – I love that step one is “get excited.” 🙂
Can you just come bake for me weekly?! Can I also put in a recommendation – I need a hearty bran muffin that doesn’t taste like cardboard. I have only made a box version & that isn’t so fancy or betty crocker of me. Teach me to make REAL ones!
Yummy! I’ll take 3 please – those look too good to pass up!

Oh these look incredibly delish. Perfect for fall.
MUST EAT THESE IMMEDIATELY. But I guess that means I must bake them?? That could be dangerous.

I’m so not a sour cream fan, but I may have to give these a try. Thanks for sharing!
It feels so good to find a blog that inspires me so much!
Thank you, i’m gonna keep scrolling here over and over again! 🙂
