Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or paper liners.
- Whisk ½ cup melted butter, ¾ cup sugar, 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Distribute batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each approximately ¾ full.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Let muffins cool inside the pan for 5 minutes after removing from the oven.
- Mix ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl for coating.
- Dip each warm muffin top first into melted butter, then roll completely in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Transfer coated muffins to a serving plate and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Check muffin doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center, which should come out clean with just a few crumbs.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins tender and prevent a tough texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend.
- Let muffins cool slightly before coating to help the butter and cinnamon-sugar stick better.
