- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter halfway into each muffin cup, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar topping, then fill the rest of the muffin cup with more batter.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Reheat muffins in the microwave or oven to enjoy them warm.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
