Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra softness)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Topping (For Extra Cinnamon-Sugar Crust):

2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven
to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
Combine
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fill muffin cups
Spoon batter evenly into muffin tin (about ¾ full).

Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over muffins before baking.
Bake
for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
