Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup milk (or buttermilk for a richer texture)

¼ cup melted unsalted butter

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Optional:

Cream cheese frosting (for topping)

Chopped nuts or chocolate chips (for an indulgent twist)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.

Add Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Gently swirl half of the cinnamon mixture into the batter before topping it with the remaining batter. Add the rest of the cinnamon mixture to create the signature swirl.

Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly before enjoying. Serve warm for the best experience!

Notes

Make Ahead: You can refrigerate unbaked muffins overnight. Just pop them in the oven for fresh muffins in the morning!

Frozen Muffins: After baking, let the muffins cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Add-Ins: Customize with nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of cream cheese frosting for an indulgent treat.
