Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg (large)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully remove the slightly cooled muffins from the tin. Lightly brush the tops of each muffin with the melted butter, then dip them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack, or serve warm for a delicious treat!
