Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Hand mixer
  • Strainer for sifting
  • Rubber spatula
  • Muffin tins/pan

Ingredients

Cinnamon muffins batter:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) unsalted & melted
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your tray with muffin liners or grease with butter. 
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift and combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, sugar, and brown sugar.
  • Using another large bowl, combine and mix eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. 
  • Add the dry ingredients with the wet ones and mix just enough to combine.
  • Spoon some muffin batter into the muffin tins at about 2/3 of the liners.
  • For the toppings, combine sugar and cinnamon powder in a small bowl.
  • Top each muffin with about 1/4 to 1/3 teaspoon of the sugar-cinnamon mix.
  • Place your tray in the middle of the oven for 20 to 23 minutes or until the top becomes darker in color.
  • Remove cinnamon muffins from the tin and serve.

Notes

  • Cook's Tip #1:  Almond extract is an excellent alternative if you don't have vanilla extract on hand; both are great for this easy cinnamon muffins recipe.
  • Cook's Tip #2:  You can use a metal whisk if you don't have a hand mixer available.
  • Cook's Tip #3:  For the sugar-cinnamon mix, you can use brown sugar instead of white if that's your preference.
