8 steps

Ingredients

  • For the muffins
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (not non-fat)
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 -6 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • For the topping
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line standard muffin tin with paper cups, or grease thoroughly.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).
  4. 4
    Carefully add flour mixture, blending just until moistened. (Resist the urge to over-mix! Batter is not suppose to be smooth).
  5. 5
    Divide batter among the muffin cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in one of the muffins comes out clean.
  6. 6
    While the muffins are backing, melt the butter in a small bowl. In a separate small, shallow bowl, combine white sugar and cinnamon.
  7. 7
    As soon as the muffins are finished baking, dip them one at a time into the melted butter. Roll (if using paper muffin cups: dip) them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then set on a rack to cool.
  8. 8
    Enjoy!
