Ingredients:
For the Muffins:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle generously over the muffin batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
