Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
Drizzle each muffin with a small amount of the melted butter reserved for the topping.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy their buttery, cinnamon-rich flavor with your favorite beverage!
