Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin. 
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
  3. In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth. 
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. 
  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. 
  6. Spoon some batter into each muffin cup, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then add more batter and repeat. 
  7. Use a toothpick to swirl the filling lightly into the batter. 
  8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
