Ingredient Swaps and Additions:
Feel free to experiment with this recipe! For a healthier twist, you can replace some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a handful of chocolate chips or diced apples for a fun surprise in each muffin. You can also use almond or oat milk in place of regular milk for a dairy-free version.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tin with paper liners to make clean-up a breeze.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the heavy cream, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for the muffins to rise beautifully.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow them to cool slightly before brushing the tops with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then dip each muffin top into the mixture for that perfect finishing touch.
- Serve them warm and let the heavenly aroma and flavor take you on a delightful journey!
Serving Suggestions:
These muffins are delicious on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. You can serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or alongside some fresh fruit for a well-rounded breakfast.
