Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 count Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter to create the filling.
Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Spoon about a teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar filling into the center of each muffin cup, then top with more batter until each cup is about three-quarters full.
Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar filling into the batter for a marbled effect.
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 glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the muffins are baked, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
