2

For the batter - whisk together the dry ingredients.  Then, beat together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, then the buttermilk and sour cream. Lastly, beat the dry ingredients into the wet JUST until incorporated.

3

Spoon about a tablespoon of the batter into the cupcake liners. Spread it all the way to the edges. Add about ½ tablespoon of cranberry sauce directly into the center of the batter. Then, fill the rest of the cupcake liner to the top with the batter over the cranberry sauce. Spread it to all of the edges using the back of a spoon, being sure to encase the cranberry sauce at the edges.

4

Lightly spoon ~1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the top of the batter. Top the muffins with 2-3 tablespoons of the crumble topping. Be sure to press them into the batter so they don't fall off.

5

Pop the muffin pan into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Serve the muffins warm or room temperature.

Enjoy!!
