Description
Simple recipe for sweet muffins with a cinnamon sugar topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- For the topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar in a small bowl.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping generously over the top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are acceptable.
- You can use a standard muffin tin or a mini-muffin tin (adjust baking time if using mini-muffins).
