# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat oven to 350°F and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
03 -
In another bowl, stir melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
04 -
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing gently until the batter shows no dry streaks. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
05 -
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 -
While muffins bake, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
07 -
Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter, then dip each muffin in the cinnamon sugar mix to coat evenly.
08 -
Enjoy the muffins while still warm, accompanied by coffee or juice.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Brushing muffins with melted butter while warm ensures the cinnamon-sugar sticks uniformly and creates a crisp top layer.
02 -
Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light in texture.
