Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping (optional):

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar (from the above mixture)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
  • Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Make the cinnamon-sugar swirl: In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Fill the muffin cups: Divide the muffin batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a small spoonful of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cinnamon-sugar into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Finish and serve: If desired, brush the tops of the hot muffins with melted butter and sprinkle with additional cinnamon-sugar for an extra sweet finish. Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, make sure not to overmix the batter.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Add chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for added crunch, if desired.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed the day they’re baked, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days
