Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 large egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup melted butter (for coating)
½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed.
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating in a small bowl.
Once the muffins are done, let them cool for a few minutes, then dip the tops in melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Feel free to experiment with different spices in the sugar coating.
