Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup store-bought caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons optional: powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake 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.
Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top of each muffin using a spoon or a piping bag.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Serve the muffins immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
