Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the pan well with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
