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

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract warm sweet aroma
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

Instructions
- 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!
- In your mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Smell that cinnamon? Pure joy.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and friendly.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined — no overmixing, we want fluffy muffins, not tough ones!
- Scoop the batter evenly into your muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for your topping. Sprinkle generously over each muffin — go wild!
- Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins rest in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack (if you can wait!).
- 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!
Warm, fluffy, and sprinkled with cinnamon magic — these muffins are ready to make your day extra cozy! 🧁✨ Take a big, happy bite, and let the sweet spices dance. Bon appétit, muffin lover!
