Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted butter
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms a paste-like texture.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with batter, add a small dollop of the cinnamon mixture, then top with more batter until the cups are about 2/3 full.
  7. Use a small knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the muffins are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the tops of the muffins once they have cooled slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
