Description

Cinnamon and brown sugar swirled throughout pancake batter muffins! (Oh yeah, and then there’s that whole browned butter maple syrup thing.)

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • ⅔ cups Whole Milk Plus 1 Teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice (or 2/3 Cup Buttermilk)
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • Browned Butter Maple Syrup, For Serving (see My Recipe Box)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly spray half of a muffin tin (i.e. Mr. Misto).

Combine the cinnamon and the brown sugar and set aside.

Mix together in a large bowl; the milk (and lemon juice), egg and melted butter. Pour this into the dry ingredients (flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt) and stir. Measure out 2 tablespoons into 6 of the muffin spots. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of the reserved cinnamon-sugar and divvy up the remaining batter over top of each muffin (about 1 1/2 tablespoons). Use a toothpick or skewer and swirl the batter.

Slide the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before removing them. You may need a little help from a rubber spatula. Brush with as much or as little browned butter maple syrup (see my recipe box) as your heart desires. Enjoy!

I just made these for breakfast. I doubled the recipe to make a dozen and used muffin liners because I always have trouble when I don’t. Mine also overflowed a bit on the top, so the recipe would probably make 7-8 muffins total without doubling. They are so delish, and I haven’t even tried them with the syrup yet! Thanks, Laurie!

Laurie, did you use a large muffin tin? I used a standard muffin tin and my muffins overflowed the pan! They were huge! Still tasted great, and came out perfect. Next time I might try it in the large muffin pan. Thanks for a great recipe!

These get five mittens for the taste alone. Perfect combo of my family’s favorite breakfast items: muffins,pancakes, and cinnamon rolls.
