Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

- Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes after baking.
- Brush muffin tops with melted butter, then dip into cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve muffins warm for optimal flavor and texture. Optionally enjoy with maple syrup.
