Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 units Large egg
- 0.75 cups Cinnamon sugar mixture (for coating)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the coating by combining the cinnamon sugar mixture in a small bowl and melting the additional butter in a separate bowl.
Once the muffins are done baking, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter and roll or sprinkle them generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm for the ultimate churros-inspired muffin experience, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
