# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

02 - ½ cup granulated sugar

03 - 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

04 - ½ teaspoon baking soda

05 - ½ teaspoon salt

06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

07 - ½ cup whole milk

08 - ⅓ cup vegetable oil

09 - 1 large egg

10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

11 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

12 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar

13 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.

03 - In a separate medium bowl, whisk milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula just until flour disappears—small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing.

05 - Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

06 - Bake for 10–12 minutes until tops spring back lightly when touched or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

07 - Let muffins rest in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling rack.

08 - While muffins are still warm, dip tops into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.

09 - Serve warm or allow to cool completely to room temperature. Enjoy immediately or store in airtight container.

Overmixing the batter will make these tough and dense, stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears
