Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon

Equipment

  • muffin tin standard 12-cup size
  • mixing bowls for wet and dry ingredients
  • toothpick for swirling cinnamon layer

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
  3. Combine both mixtures gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Drop batter halfway into muffin cups. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on each. Add more batter and swirl gently with a toothpick.
  5. Bake 18–20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Let cool and optionally drizzle with glaze.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter, and try swirling gently with a skewer to create perfect pockets of cinnamon.
