Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins with Streusel and Icing

I love to have coffee cake for Sunday morning breakfast or brunch. It starts the day of on a special note. I am not saying that I don’t like eating coffee cake other days of the week, because I do. But Sunday is a special day of the week for me and starting if off with a yummy coffee cake makes it more special.

When I ran across this recipe coffee cake muffins I thought this is for me. I love the fact that I can have my coffee cake on Sunday in a muffin form and freeze some for another day. So that is exactly what I did.

These muffins are full of flavor with the cinnamon and the sour cream makes them nice and moist. Also they do freeze nicely. I noticed that Mike was taking them out of the freezer and popping them in a container for his lunch; a nice little treat for his day at work.
