Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined—you want to avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full for optimal rising.
- Add Topping: Mix together the cinnamon sugar topping and sprinkle it generously over each muffin, adding a sweet and crunchy finish.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Let them cool slightly in the pan before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using half brown sugar and half granulated sugar in the batter.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Reheat briefly in the microwave or toaster oven before serving for a warm treat.
- Gluten-free flour can be substituted 1:1 to make a gluten-free version.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep your muffins light and airy.
