Ingredients

For the Muffins:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While muffins are cooling slightly, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Dip the tops of the warm muffins in melted butter, then coat them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of maple syrup to the batter.
These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to three days or can be frozen for later enjoyment.
Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the perfect breakfast or snack.
