=== Ingredients ===
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, browned and cooled, plus butter for muffin cups
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup packed dark or light brown sugar
* 3/4 cup sour cream or a rich, full- fat plain yogurt
* 1/2 cup whole- wheat flour
* 1 cup (125 grams) all- purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon table salt
* Pinch of ground cinnamon
* Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
* 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
* 2 cups pitted and diced plums (about 3/4 pound)

=== Preparation ===
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Butter twelve muffin cups.

Whisk the egg with both sugars in the bottom of a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter, then the sour cream. In a separate bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and poppy seeds, and then stir them into the sour- cream mixture until it is just combined and still a bit lumpy. Fold in the plums.

Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden and a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Rest muffins in the pan on a cooling rack for 2 minutes, then remove them from the tin to cool them completely.

Do Ahead: Generally, I think muffins are best on the first day, but these surprise me by being twice as moist, with even more developed flavors, on day two. They’re just a little less crisp on top after being in an airtight container overnight.
