Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs room temperature
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons butter cut in small cubes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12 count standard size muffin pan with paper liners.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Combine the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Using a three-tablespoon scoop, load the muffin cups, dividing evenly.

4. 4

   Make the cinnamon topping by combining the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl and cutting in the butter with a pastry blender until small crumbs form. Sprinkle the cinnamon topping evenly over the muffin cups.

5. 5

   Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire cooling rack.
