Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the filling mixture.
  6. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in each cup. Add the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle more cinnamon sugar for an extra swirl of flavor.
  7. Add Butter Dots: Dot the tops of each muffin with softened butter to add richness and help create the classic cinnamon roll texture.
  8. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating they are fully baked.
  9. Prepare the Glaze: While the muffins are cooling slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm muffins and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon sugar mixture to add crunchy texture.
  • For best flavor, serve the muffins warm right out of the oven.
  • Leftovers can be quickly reheated in the microwave for a convenient warm treat.
