Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Muffins:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1–2 tbsp milk
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  • Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the muffin batter. Add a teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture to the center of each, then top with more muffin batter until the cups are about 2/3 full. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the muffins cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins before serving.

Notes

  • You can make the cinnamon sugar mixture ahead of time and store it in an airtight container.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a bit of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  • These muffins are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
