Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for the muffin batter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the muffin batter
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or a substitute with milk and vinegar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Finishing Touches
  1. While the muffins cool slightly, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
  2. Roll the warm muffins in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  3. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter to maintain fluffy texture. Store muffins in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
