Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for coating)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Using a small scoop or spoon, fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins cool slightly, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. In another small bowl, melt the additional butter.

Step 8

Once the muffins are cool enough to handle but still warm, carefully remove them from the tin. Dip each muffin top into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Step 9

Place the coated muffin puffs on a wire rack to cool completely or serve immediately while still warm.
