Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar)
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (ensure fresh)
  • 0.5 tsp salt (sea salt recommended)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (adjust for extra spice)

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.75 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs (chia seeds can be used as egg substitute)
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil/coconut oil)

Topping

  • Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended and evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter until fully combined for a smooth mixture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can lead to dense muffins.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy crust.
  6. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps to finish the cooking process and prevents sogginess.

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar.
  • Use almond or oat milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
  • Chia seeds can replace eggs as a vegan alternative (1 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water equals 1 egg).
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for optimal leavening.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy.
  • Let muffins cool properly to avoid soggy bottoms.
