Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Make Filling: Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to create the flavorful filling.
  6. Layer and Swirl: Spoon a layer of batter into each muffin cup, add a sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar filling, then cover with another layer of batter. Use a toothpick to swirl the layers together for that classic cinnamon roll look.
  7. Bake: Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Glaze: While the muffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and a splash of milk to create a simple icing. Drizzle over the warm muffins as soon as they come out of the oven.
  9. Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before indulging in their warm, cinnamon-infused goodness.

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
