# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

10 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Gradually fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
05 - Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
07 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes after baking.
08 - Brush muffin tops with melted butter, then dip into cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
09 - Serve muffins warm for optimal flavor and texture. Optionally enjoy with maple syrup.

# Tips:

01 - Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 15-20 seconds.
