Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar)

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
    • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Assemble the Muffins:
    • Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add more batter to fill each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  7. Bake the Muffins:
    • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.



Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
