Description
Deliciously fluffy muffins coated in cinnamon sugar that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the cinnamon sugar coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Brush each muffin with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
