Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Making the Muffin Batter
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
Preparing the Swirl Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
Filling Muffin Cups
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup.
- Add a teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture on top, then cover with remaining batter.
- Take a toothpick or knife and swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Glazing
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the muffins are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once muffins are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow glaze to set before serving.
Notes
