Warm spices swirling, a cinnamon embrace, these muffins rise, a sweet, comforting grace. With every bite, a morning’s delight, a symphony of flavors, both cozy and bright.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour: This forms the foundation of our muffins, giving them a sturdy structure and a delightful tenderness. The flour absorbs moisture from the wet ingredients, creating a cohesive dough that bakes into a soft, airy crumb. Choosing a good quality all-purpose flour is essential for achieving that perfect muffin texture.

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder: This is the magic ingredient that makes our **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins** rise high and fluffy! Baking powder reacts with moisture and heat, producing carbon dioxide bubbles that expand and lift the dough. The result is a muffin that’s light and airy, with a delicate texture that melts in your mouth.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda: Baking soda works in conjunction with the baking powder to ensure a good rise and a soft, fluffy texture. It also contributes to the slight browning of the muffins. To ensure freshness, always check the expiration date on baking soda.

1/4 teaspoon salt: While it may seem insignificant, salt plays a crucial role in enhancing the flavors of all the other ingredients. Just a pinch helps to balance the sweetness and brings out the warmth of the cinnamon.

1/2 cup granulated sugar: This provides the perfect touch of sweetness to each **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffin**, making them a delicious and satisfying treat for your morning. Granulated sugar dissolves easily and provides a clean, crisp sweetness.

1/4 cup packed brown sugar: This adds a warm, molasses flavor that complements the cinnamon beautifully. Brown sugar also contributes to the muffins’ moistness and rich color.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened: Creaming the softened butter with the sugars is key to creating a tender and flavorful crumb. The butter also adds richness and moisture to the muffins. Choose unsalted butter for better control over the salt content.

2 tablespoons milk: Believe it or not, adding a bit of milk creates a delightful tenderness in our **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins**. The milk helps to activate the baking powder and soda, producing a fluffy texture. It also helps the dough stay moist and prevents it from drying out during baking.

1 large egg: This acts as a binder, holding all the ingredients together and providing structure. The egg also contributes to the muffins’ richness and adds moisture. Make sure your egg is at room temperature for best results.

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla extract adds a warm, inviting aroma and a subtle sweetness to our **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins**. Choose a high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.

2-heaping tablespoons ground cinnamon: The star of the show! This is what gives our **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins** their signature flavor and aroma. Cinnamon is not only delicious, but also has potential health benefits. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to help regulate blood sugar. Use good quality, freshly ground cinnamon for the best flavor and aroma.

1/2 cup Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans: Adding chopped nuts creates a delicious crunch and extra texture to our **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins**. Choose your favorite type of nut, or use a combination of walnuts and pecans.

Steps

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare!

Get your oven preheated to 400°F (200°C), and grease about 12 muffin cups. This is crucial, friends, to ensure those gorgeous Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins don’t stick around where they shouldn’t!

Step 2: Dry Ingredients Unite!

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. You got this, friends! Get those dry ingredients dancing together in perfect harmony! Then, set them aside like royalty, because they’re about to meet their perfect match in a few steps!

Step 3: Creamy Delight!

Become the queen (or king) of creaming! In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars – granulated and brown – until the mixture is light and fluffy. (About 2 minutes, using an electric mixer – go fancy if you feel like it! -, but a trusty whisk will do just fine). This is where the magic begins, friends! You’re creating a symphony of textures in these Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins.

Step 4: Wet Ingredients Take Center Stage!

In another bowl, lightly beat an egg. Mix it with the milk and vanilla extract like they’re old pals. Don’t overthink it, friends! Whisk that mixture just until combined, and voilà! Then, add this wet wonder to the butter and sugar mixture along with the vanilla. Give it a good beat or two to blend everything together – nice and easy!

Step 5: Flour Power Unleashed!

Now, it’s time for those dry ingredients to shine! Add them to the wet mixture and give it a gentle mix. Don’t overdo it, friends! You want these Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins to come together in perfect harmony.

Step 6: Cinnamon Takes Center Stage!

Stir in the cinnamon – yeah, go ahead and get a little wild with it! You want to smell those glorious kitchen memories wafting from your oven!

Step 7: Muffin Filling Frenzy!

Fill your greased muffin cups about 2/3 full with dough. Sprinkle the tops with another pinch of cinnamon or, if you feel like getting fancy, add a pecan half to each!

Step 8: Rise & Shine, Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins!

Bake those Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins for about 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean. Remember, the fun is in the waiting (and winking when you check). If it’s still wet, let them bake a little longer to find their perfect “baked” selves.

Step 9: Cool Down, Hot Stuff!

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Okay, friend, take a deep breath… these Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins smell SO good, it’s hard to resist the temptation! But I won’t lie, I’m imagining all sorts of delicious ways to enjoy these treats!

Now, go ahead and enjoy them warm or let them toast up nice and golden brown in the toaster. Do I even need to ask which is better? A warm muffin bathed in sunshine or my “famous” cinnamon-sugary morning twist – a little extra cinnamon sugar sprinkle on top? These little gems are ANYTHING but ordinary!

Happy baking! BreakfastCinnamonMuffins

Preheat Oven & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups. Our adorable **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins** will love a nonstick pampered welcome! Make sure the muffin cups are evenly greased to prevent the muffins from sticking. You can use a paper towel or a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to each cup.

3

Cream Butter & Sugars into Dreamy Perfection

In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. This mix is pure honey for our delicious **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins!** To cream the butter and sugar, use an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat the ingredients until they are light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a wooden spoon to cream the butter and sugar. It will just take a little longer.
4

Combine Wet Ingredients for a Flavor Symphony

In another bowl, lightly beat an egg. Mix in milk and vanilla extract. This harmonious trio is soon flowing into your **Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins**. Be sure to beat the egg until it is frothy. This will help to make the muffins light and airy. Mix the milk and vanilla extract until they are well-combined. You can use any type of milk you like. Whole milk will make the muffins richer and moister, while skim milk will make them lighter. Vanilla extract is optional, but it adds a nice flavor to the muffins.

Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter. *(Optional - Sprinkle tops with a pinch of extra cinnamon or a pecan half.)* Ready to unleash deliciousness into your morning! Make sure to leave some space at the top of the muffin cups for the batter to rise. If you fill the cups too full, the muffins will spill over.

Frequently Asked Questions

You bet! For a healthier option, try replacing the butter with unsweetened applesauce. It will slightly alter the texture, but these Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins will still be delicious! You could also use a vegan butter substitute, but keep in mind that it may require adjusting the baking time.

These Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until warm.

Absolutely! Get creative and add your favorite mix-ins, like chopped nuts, raisins, or even chocolate chips. Be sure to adjust the baking time slightly if you add heavier ingredients like nuts.

There could be a few reasons why your Breakfast Cinnamon Muffins didn't rise as much as you'd hoped. Make sure you used fresh baking powder and baking soda, as they are essential for leavening. Also, check that you didn't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in dense muffins.

The recipe as written is not vegan or gluten-free. However, you can easily adapt it by using vegan butter and a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check the ingredients of your chosen substitutions to ensure they are suitable for your dietary needs.
