Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 cups flour sifted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk room temperature

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
3 In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4 Stir in the vanilla extract, then alternate adding the dry mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
5 Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6 Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7 While the muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
8 Once the muffins are done, let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
9 Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
