Cinnamon Muffins
Description
The Cinnamon Muffins recipe uses a classic muffin batter with flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. The dry ingredients are mixed separately from wet, then combined carefully to avoid overmixing, preserving a delicate crumb. Topping the batter with a cinnamon and sugar mixture before baking provides a sweet, crisp layer on the muffins' surface.
Baked at 375°F, the muffins rise moderately, delivering a soft, moist texture inside with a cinnamon-sugar kissed crust. The cinnamon flavor is present inside the muffins and accentuated on top, creating a balanced warmth in each bite. These muffins are straightforward, relying on staple pantry ingredients and a simple preparation method.
The recipe notes that the amount of baking powder was reduced for a less intense rise but maintains good texture and flavor. These muffins work well for breakfast, teatime treats, or light snack occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or another neutral oil)
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease 18 muffins cups.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined - don’t over mix.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the tops of the batter filled cups.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick instead in the center comes out clean, 13-15 minutes.
Notes
- The recipe has been adjusted to use 1 tablespoon of baking powder instead of 4 teaspoons, which still produces good muffin rise and texture.
