Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
6. Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
7. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in each cup.
8. Repeat layering with remaining batter and cinnamon sugar, finishing with a dollop of melted butter on top of each muffin.
9. Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar gently to create a marbled effect.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
11. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise.
Swirling the cinnamon sugar gently prevents overmixing but ensures a beautiful cinnamon swirl in every bite.
