Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon 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 perfect temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and uniform in texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Incorporate Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the muffins tough.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tops of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy finish.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter.
- Additional add-ins like chopped nuts or raisins can be folded into the batter for extra texture.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Reheat muffins briefly in the microwave or toaster oven for a fresh-baked taste.
