Mini cinnamon muffins are soft, fluffy little treats with warm cinnamon flavor and a sweet crust. They’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert—small, adorable, and quick to bake.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • Optional topping: 2 Tbsp melted butter + 2 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding milk and the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool slightly. Optional: dip tops in melted butter then roll in a cinnamon‑sugar mix.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth.
  • Swap half the flour for whole wheat for a slightly heartier version.
  • Use dairy-free milk and butter for a vegan alternative.
  • Freeze baked muffins, then reheat gently in oven or microwave.
  • Use a regular muffin tin if mini isn’t available—adjust baking time (18–20 minutes).
