Instructions
- 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
- 2. Make Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until mixed (do not overmix).
- 3. Make Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until you get a thick paste.
- 4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon about 1 tbsp of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon filling, then top with more batter to fill ¾ full. Swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer.
- 5. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- 6. Glaze and Serve: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over slightly warm muffins. Serve and enjoy!
