Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 ¼ cups (309 g) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and cream of tartar until evenly combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until no large lumps remain. The batter will be slightly runny.
  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  • Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the batter, being careful to avoid the edges of the pan to prevent burning.
  • Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
