Muffin
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon swirl
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cream cheese frosting
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl: melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
-
Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in each muffin cup.
-
Top each muffin cup with the remaining batter, dividing it evenly among the cups.
-
Use a toothpick or a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter in each muffin cup, creating a marbled effect.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-22minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the muffins are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Pipe the cream cheese frosting over the cooled muffins and lightly dust some cinnamon over the glaze.
