Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and lightly mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter to create a paste.

            Fill Muffin Liners: Spoon half of the muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. Add about a teaspoon of the cinnamon filling on top of the batter in each cup, then cover with the remaining muffin batter.

              Swirl the Filling: Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon filling through the batter. Ensure not to over-swirl as you want to create a marbled effect, not fully blend.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Make the Glaze: While muffins are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

                    Cool and Glaze: Once muffins are done, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins for that perfect finish.

                      Serve and Enjoy: These muffins are best served warm. Enjoy the heavenly aroma and delightful taste of your warm cinnamon roll muffins!
