Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the muffins bake evenly.
- Prepare the muffin tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or give it a light greasing to prevent sticking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Blend wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold until just combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter.
- Fill the muffin cups: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each muffin cup. Add a spoonful of the cinnamon filling on top, followed by another spoonful of batter.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the glaze: While the muffins are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle and serve: Once muffins are out and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze on top. Serve warm.
