Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the wells of a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon for the muffins.
