Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until no flour streaks remain. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.
  4. Stir the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon together and sprinkle over the tops. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Let the muffins rest in the pan for the full 5 minutes before moving them so the crumb sets. If you bake them without liners, grease the pan well and run a butter knife around the muffins while they are still warm to release the cinnamon sugar top cleanly.
