Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the cups with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
