🍂 Cinnamon Roll Muffins 🍂
Ingredients
For the Muffins:
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (120ml) milk
⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze:
½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
Make the Muffin Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until it forms a crumbly paste.
Assemble the Muffins:
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add a small spoonful of the cinnamon mixture on top, then cover with another tablespoon of batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
Bake:
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Make the Glaze:
While the muffins cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
