Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tops of the batter-filled muffin cups.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra moist muffins, consider adding a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out clean when muffins are fully baked.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Reheat muffins in a microwave or oven before serving for a fresh-baked experience.
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version, though texture may vary slightly.
