Equipment

  • muffin tin

Ingredients

Muffins

  • 6 tablespoons butter unsalted and softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs large - room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup half and half

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon ground

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease or line your muffin pan.

Muffins

  • Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer. Beat the mixture for about two minutes.
  • Add the baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt and mix just until combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix just until combined.
  • Add about half of the flour and half of the half and half and mix just until combined. Add the remaining half and half and flour and mix until combined. Note: Scrape the edges of the bowl to ensure thorough mixing
  • Spoon the batter into the liners or greased pan until the cups are about ¾ of the way full.
  • Bake the muffins for about 22-27 minutes. The muffins are done when you can insert a toothpick into the middle of a muffin and have it come out clean.

Coating

  • In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together for the topping.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
  • Dip cooled muffins into the melted butter and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are coated.

Notes

  • You can store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • These can be made into mini muffins by decreasing the baking time and using a small muffin pan.
  • These can be made into jumbo muffins by increasing the baking time and using a large muffin pan.
