Cinnamon Toast Muffins
Cozy cinnamon toast muffins warm up a chilly morning for back-to-school days, office parties, and holiday treats.
Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
- 12 cup muffin pan
- muffins liners (optional)
Ingredients
muffins
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup cultured buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and butter and flour your muffin pan. I did not use muffins liners, but you can if you want.
- Blend the sugar and cinnamon together well in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Blend in the vanilla. Scrape down those sides!
- Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the bowl, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until well combined. Finish with a silicone spoonula to scrape down the side and bottom of the bowl and give it a final stir.
- Using about half the batter, spoon a small scoop of batter into the bottom of 12 muffin cups. Make sure the batter covers the bottom of the muffin cup and then top with a teaspoon or so of cinnamon sugar. Note: you don't want the cinnamon sugar touching the bottom of the muffin cup or it will make the muffin stick.
- Scoop the remaining batter on top of each muffin and then top with another teaspoon of cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until the muffins are risen and golden.
- Cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan to a rack. Note: loosen the edges with a blunt offset spreading knife or similar before trying to remove the muffins.
