Snicker doodle Muffins Recipe
In the form of muffins, soft and supple Snicker doodles with a cinnamon sugar topping are my absolute favorite cookie!
Ingredients
- One large egg,
- one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract,
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter,
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar,
- 1/2 cup milk,
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream,
- and 1 and a third cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda,
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed cinnamon,
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder,
- and 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons powdered cinnamon 3
- Tablespoons melted butter
Procedure
- Start the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously coat a normal muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Put aside.
- In a large mixing basin or stand mixer bowl, add the butter and granulated sugar.
- Blend until completely blended and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Put the egg in. Blend together the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
- Fill each prepared muffin tin about two thirds of the way to the top with batter.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
- Let cool for a minute or two inside the muffin tray, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Melt the butter for the topping while the muffins are baking.
- In a different small container, combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar.
- After the muffins are taken out of the oven and allowed to cool for a few minutes, lightly coat each muffin with melted butter using a pastry brush.
- Apply a liberal amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. (Alternatively, you could dip the muffin tops in the melted butter and then the sugar, but I think using a pastry brush and then dusting them with sugar makes them appear better.)
