Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.25 cups 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 thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not 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 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Brush the tops of the warm muffins with melted butter, then dip each muffin into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating the tops generously.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
