Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with butter.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon for the topping.

Step 7

Sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each muffin, ensuring the tops are well covered.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
