Key Ingredients for Heavenly Cinnamon Sugar Cream Muffins

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar (plus more for sprinkling)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly – this helps keep everything mess-free!
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the heavy cream for that silky texture – don’t overmix!
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together additional sugar and cinnamon for the topping, and sprinkle generously over the muffin batter.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm, or store them for later!

What to Serve Heavenly Cinnamon Sugar Cream Muffins With

These muffins are delightful on their own, but they shine even brighter when paired with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a warm cup of tea. For a more indulgent option, enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese spread. You can even pair them with a side of fresh fruit to balance the sweetness!

Top Tips for Perfecting Heavenly Cinnamon Sugar Cream Muffins

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half or whole milk, although it may alter the texture slightly.
• Temperature Matters: Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs and milk, for the best results.
• Avoid Overmixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to ensure the muffins remain fluffy.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftover muffins (they are hard to resist, but sometimes leftovers happen!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Enjoy the aroma and fluffiness just like when they were fresh out of the oven!

There you have it! Heavenly Cinnamon Sugar Cream Muffins are not only easy to make but are sure to be a hit with family and friends. With their sweet, cinnamon-infused flavor and creamy center, they are bound to elevate your baking game. Don’t wait; grab your ingredients and let’s get baking!
