Mini Cinnamon Muffins

They taste like cinnamon doughnuts!! So hard to stop popping them in your mouth.

BAKERS - You might notice the order in which ingredients are mixed into the batter are different to the usual muffins, that's because this recipe borrows from French Madeleine's so they're extra plush and extra buttery inside. Turns out the French know a thing or two about baking? ;) - N x ❤️

Mini Cinnamon Muffins

3/4 cup (110g) plain flour / all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temp (55-60g/2oz each)
1/2 cup (100g) caster sugar (superfine sugar)
2 tsp oil (canola, vegetable or any other neutral flavoured oil)
2 tbsp milk at room temp, full fat best but low fat ok
2 tsp vanilla extract
75g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (but not cold)
Canola oil spray, or other neutral oil spray
CINNAMON SUGAR - mix:
2 tbsp caster sugar (superfine sugar)
3/4 tsp cinnamon powder

1. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar vigorously for 20 seconds, then whisk in oil, milk and vanilla. Gently whisk in flour in 2 batches, then gently stir in butter just until incorporated.
3. Spray a 24 hole mini muffin tin* generously with oil. Will 3/4 full with batter (1 tablespoon) then bake 12 minutes at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
4. Wait 2 minutes then bang out of the pan. Toss in cinnamon sugar as soon as they’re cool enough to handle – the sugar sticks best when the muffins are still warm. SERVE WARM!!!**

You can also use a regular muffin tin to make 12 disc-shaped muffins which are also great, bake 14 -15 min. Don’t try to make regular shaped muffins, the batter is not designed for that (it doesn’t rise as well). Also, the flatter muffin has better cinnamons-sugar surface area to crumb ratio!
** At their prime freshly made, if they cool down just rewarm in microwave for 20 seconds because they are sooooo good when warm! (That’s for whole bowl of them, if it’s just one, it only takes 5 sec)
