Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 toothpick or skewer for testing doneness
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar For topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until well blended.
  • In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
Try adding some chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
