. Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Rotate the pan halfway through to ensure even baking.
7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the muffins bake, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
8. Coat Muffins: Once the muffins are done, let them cool for just a few minutes in the pan. While they are still warm, dip the top of each muffin in melted butter and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
9. Make the Melted Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if it’s too thick.
10. Glaze the Muffins: Drizzle the melted glaze over the cinnamon sugar-coated muffins for a sugary finish.
. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful muffin treats warm or at room temperature!
