Ingredients
Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- Prepare the muffin batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake the muffins: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the butter in another small bowl.
- Coat the muffins: Dip the tops of each muffin in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly more before serving, or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
Make-ahead: Muffins can be made 1 day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
Vegan Option: Use flax eggs and non-dairy butter and milk to make these muffins vegan-friendly.
For a different flavor, try using brown sugar or coconut sugar for the cinnamon sugar coating.
Freezing: Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag.
