What you’ll need to make these Muffins

For the Muffins:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Step-by-Step on how to make Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

1. Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. This ensures even mixing of all wet ingredients.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Fill Muffin Cups:Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
6. Bake the Muffins:Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
7. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.
8. Coat the Muffins:Dip the tops of the warm muffins in the melted butter, then immediately into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a crunchy coating.
