Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup rice oil (or another vegetable oil of your choice)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Tools
- 4 Bowls
- 1 Hand Whisk
- 12 Rigid Muffin Cups
- 1 Cake Tester
- 1 Cooling Rack
Steps
Preheat the oven to 375 °F and line a muffin tin with liners (if using liners like mine, they are rigid and stand on their own). In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Separately, beat the eggs with the milk, rice oil (or the chosen vegetable oil) then add them to the dry ingredients and mix. Pour the resulting mixture into the muffin cups.
Prepare the filling by mixing sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Pour a teaspoon of this mixture onto each muffin and use a skewer to swirl it into the batter.
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375 °F for twenty/twenty-five minutes. Remember to do the skewer test to check for doneness.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Once the muffins are ready, let them cool for a few minutes, then move them to a rack and drizzle with the glaze.
Notes
The glaze should be drizzled on the muffins while they are still warm.
