Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Muffin Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold using a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Make the Cinnamon Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix until it forms a paste.
Assemble the Muffins
- Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about ⅓ full.
- Add a generous teaspoon of the cinnamon filling on top of the batter in each cup.
- Top with more muffin batter until the cups are about ⅔ full, ensuring the filling is covered.
- Using a toothpick or knife, swirl the batter gently to create a marbled effect.
Bake the Muffins
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
