Ingredients
For the Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
4. Divide half of the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
5. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of swirl mixture into each muffin and lightly swirl with a toothpick.
6. Top with remaining batter and repeat swirl process on top layer.
7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool slightly, then whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm muffins before serving.
Notes
• For extra gooey centers, add more swirl mix between layers.
• These freeze well—just reheat in the microwave for a warm cinnamon hit!
• Try adding chopped pecans or a dash of nutmeg for extra flavor.
