Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for topping)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tbsp vinegar added)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed for topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

          Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with a sprinkle of cinnamon and the granulated sugar until well combined.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping generously over each muffin.

              Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
