Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (large)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted, for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well blended.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
While the muffins cool, prepare the topping by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Carefully remove the slightly cooled muffins from the tin. Lightly brush the tops of each muffin with the melted butter, then dip them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack, or serve warm for a delicious treat!
