Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Evenly divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 8

Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops with the melted butter and then generously sprinkle or roll the muffins in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 10

Transfer the coated muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
