Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- ¼ cup Butter, melted
- 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 proper temperature for baking your muffins evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt, ensuring all dry ingredients are well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Fold Wet into Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin and spoon the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each muffin cup topping the batter.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before removing them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half or whole milk instead of regular milk.
- You can substitute the granulated sugar topping with brown sugar for a deeper caramelized taste.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and airy.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Reheat muffins briefly in the microwave or oven before serving to refresh their texture.
