Snickerdoodle Muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup  unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients** and the Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • While the muffins are baking, prepare the **cinnamon sugar topping**. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of granulated sugar and 2 tsp of ground cinnamon.
  • As soon as the muffins are done baking and still warm, **brush the tops** with melted butter and dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
