Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, with a few small lumps remaining.
- Using a standard ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional ground cinnamon on top of each muffin for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep muffins tender and light.
- Use Fresh Spices: Use fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor.
- Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
- Fill Muffin Cups Correctly: Fill 2/3 to 3/4 full to allow proper rising without overflow.
- Cool Properly: Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Optional Variations: Try adding chopped nuts or a simple glaze for extra indulgence.
