Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (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 with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until thoroughly combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
