Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cold diced butter for the topping. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
