Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

Muffins Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

1 TBSP plus 2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

2 cups milk

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 TBSP vanilla extract

Sugar Cinnamon mix

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Muffin Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 24 muffin cups or line them with paper cupcake liners. 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix thoroughly. In a medium bowl whisk together the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.

Pour the were mixture into the dry ingredients. Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin tins, just enough to cover the bottom. Sprinkle some of the sugar cinnamon mix on top of the mix. Spoon more mix into the muffin tin. Top with Sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. A dark pan will take less time than a light colored pan. The muffins are done when a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin. Remove the muffins from the tin and let cool on a cooling rack. Serve and enjoy!

Icing Ingredients

3 cups Powdered Sugar

1/2 Cup Butter, unsalted, room temperature

2 tsp Vanilla Extract (to prevent the icing from being brown use clear extract)

2-3 TBSP whole milk or heavy cream

Icing Directions:

In a medium-size mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, milk and mix until smooth and creamy.

Pour over warm muffins to get a cinnamon roll like glaze, or wait until the muffins have cooled more to have more of a frosted muffin.
