Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.

5. Fill the pan: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
6. Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Finish: While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter and dip or sprinkle them generously with cinnamon sugar.
