Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  4. Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra cinnamon flavor, swirl some cinnamon sugar into the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier taste and more tender crumb.
  • Replace sugar with a natural sweetener like honey for a healthier alternative, adjusting liquid ratios accordingly.
