How to Bake Quick Cinnamon Muffins
These cinnamon muffins have been a family staple for as long as I can remember. Whenever a sugar craving hit, these muffins were always a quick and delicious solution. They’re incredibly easy to make and everyone can join in. I’ve baked them countless times, even as a child.
Here’s how to bake them:
- Whisk the wet ingredients: Start by whisking together the eggs and sugar until they’re light and fluffy. This will help create the perfect muffin texture.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sifting them helps the muffins rise evenly.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold them in gently. Be careful not to overmix – we want these muffins to be light and fluffy.
- Add the butter: Stir in the melted butter until the batter is well combined.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups in a muffin tin. I like to fill them about ¾ of the way full for that perfect rise.
- Top with cinnamon sugar: Brush the tops of the muffins with a little melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for that irresistible, golden topping.
- Bake to perfection: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
