Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup milk (whole or buttermilk)

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon (for topping)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

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

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

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. This will become the delicious topping.

            Fill Muffin Liners: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of each muffin.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your delightful cinnamon muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack!
