- Now, make the batter by mixing wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Fill the batter 2/3 in each muffin compartment.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the muffins are slightly squeezed.
- Before baking the muffins, melt the butter in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, add granulated sugar and cinnamon powder.
