Ingredients
- All Purpose Flour: 1.5 cups
- Granulated Sugar: 0.5 cups
- Baking Powder: 1.5 teaspoons
- Salt: 0.25 teaspoons
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable Oil: 0.33 cups
- Large Egg: 1 unit
- Milk: 0.5 cups
- Melted Butter: 0.25 cups (for topping)
- Additional Sugar: 0.25 cups (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, and milk until the mixture is uniform.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, ensuring you do not over-mix.
- Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the muffins cool slightly, melt the butter in one small bowl and mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in another.
- Dip the top of each warm muffin first into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Notes
- Don’t Over-mix: Stir the batter only until the flour disappears to ensure a light and tender crumb.
- Dip While Warm: For the best coating, dip the muffins while they are still warm so the butter and sugar adhere perfectly.
- Room Temp Ingredients: Using a room temperature egg and milk helps the batter emulsify more smoothly for an even rise.
