Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for the swirl)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for the glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. - Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. - Combine the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. - Mix the wet and dry ingredients
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. - Prepare the cinnamon swirl
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of each muffin and swirl it gently using a toothpick or skewer. - Bake
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for a few minutes. - Glaze and serve
Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins once they’ve cooled slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar until it reaches your desired consistency.
- These muffins freeze well. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
