Mini Cinnamon Muffins
Recipe video above. These are way too easy to keep popping in your mouth. They taste like cinnamon doughnuts! Except, baked, not fried :) And the inside is more plush and buttery because the recipe is based on French Madeleines. How did I never do that before - it's too good and too easy not to

Ingredients
24 servings
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar vigorously, then oil, milk and vanilla. Add flour in 2 batches, then butter. Spray mini muffin tin, fill 3/4 full, bake 12 min at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan), bang out then toss in cinnamon sugar.
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). (Don't grease the muffin tin yet)
- Cinnamon Sugar - Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Dry ingredients - Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Wet ingredients - In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar vigorously for 20 seconds until pale yellow. Add oil, milk and vanilla and whisk again.
- Finish batter - Add half the flour, gently whisk in, then whisk in the remaining flour. Gently whisk in the butter until incorporated. Set aside while you prepare the muffin tin.
- Spray and bake - Generously spray a 24 hole mini muffin tin with oil. (Note 3) Fill each 3/4 full with batter (don't be greedy and overfill, they will not rise as they should!). A small cookie scoop with lever is handy, or a jug or piping bag.
- Bake 12 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes then invert and assertively bang the pan edge on a work surface to knock the muffins out of the tin. (Don't try to pry out, they will break)
- Toss in cinnamon sugar while warm (sticks better) then serve immediately!
