Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Mix brown sugar and additional cinnamon for the filling.
  6. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter, sprinkle filling, and add remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to customize your muffins. Avoid overmixing for the best texture.
