Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. -
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. -
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, oil, and vanilla, and stir until smooth. -
Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix. -
Add Optional Toppings
If using, mix brown sugar and extra cinnamon, then sprinkle on top of each muffin for a sweet crust. -
Fill and Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!
Notes
- For extra moist muffins, try replacing half the oil with applesauce or yogurt.
- Don’t overmix the batter this helps keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Muffins can be frozen in airtight bags for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Want a fruity twist? Add finely chopped apples or raisins to the batter.
