Swirled Cinnamon and Sugar Muffins
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Sprinkle a small amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Add another layer of batter to cover the cinnamon sugar.
Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
