Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until fully blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling it about halfway. Sprinkle a pinch of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Add another small spoonful of batter to cover the cinnamon mix partially, filling each cup to about 3/4 full. Top with a final pinch of the cinnamon sugar mixture for a swirl effect.
Using a toothpick, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter in each muffin cup by making small circular motions.
Bake the mini muffins in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center 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.
