Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine this mixture with the dry ingredients until just blended; lumpy batter is acceptable.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and additional cinnamon for the filling.
- Spoon half of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon filling, then top with remaining batter. Lightly swirl if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
