Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the pan well with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
