Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be just combined and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
