How To Make Snickerdoodle Muffins Recipe
For The Muffin
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a standard muffin pan generously with non-stick cooking spray then set aside
- Add the butter and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl and cream together for about 2 minutes until the mix is smooth and well combined. Then add egg, vanilla, milk and sour cream and mix until even.
- To the butter mix, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold in until it just combines. Ensure not to overmix
- Transfer batter with a spoon into the greased muffin pan, filling each tin to about ⅔ its volume. Insert a toothpick in the center of each batter-filled tin
- Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- After baking, allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 1-2 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack.
For The Topping:
- Melt the butter for the topping in a small container. Meanwhile, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a different container.
- Once the muffins are out of the oven and have cooled for just a few minutes, use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of melted butter over each muffin.
- Generously sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter layer. Serve w*rm and enjoy
Tips
- The baking powder starts to work as soon as the wet and dry ingred*ents are blended, so it’s important to have the oven preheated and pans ready before you combine the two.
- If you have any leftovers, you can store them till ready to consume. Allow cooling completely, then freeze in a zip-log bag for up to a month. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator or microwave for a few seconds, until w*rm.
