Fluffy Cinnamon Swirl Muffins with a Sweet Sugar Coating
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar (for the swirl)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for the swirl)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Add another layer of batter and top with more cinnamon sugar mixture.
Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
