Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour fluffy foundation of your muffins
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweet happiness
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar cozy caramel notes
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder for that beautiful rise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt just a pinch to balance flavors
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon the star of the show!
  • 1/2 cup milk adds moisture and tenderness
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter your richness boost
  • 1 large egg binds everything with love
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract warm sweet aroma
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sparkle
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for extra magic

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl for whisking together your muffin magic
  • 1 Whisk to blend wet ingredients and get that fluffy batter
  • 1 Muffin tin your trusty baking sidekick
  • 12 Paper Muffin Liners for mess-free, perfect muffins
  • 1 Ice Cream Scoop or Spoon to neatly fill the muffin cups
  • 1 Oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for golden perfection

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well — you’re about to bake happiness!
  2. In your mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Smell that cinnamon? Pure joy.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and friendly.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined — no overmixing, we want fluffy muffins, not tough ones!
  5. Scoop the batter evenly into your muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for your topping. Sprinkle generously over each muffin — go wild!
  7. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins rest in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack (if you can wait!).
  9. Serve warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or just as they are — perfect every time!

Notes

  • Want extra flair? Fold in mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a cream cheese swirl before baking!
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer muffin magic.
  • These muffins taste fabulous with your morning coffee or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
  • Pro tip: Double the batch. Trust me, they disappear fast!
