CINNAMON SWIRL MUFFINS



Cinnamon Swirl Muffins image

My mum bought me a cookery book called 'Muffins Galore' (by Catherine Atkinson), and this is the first recipe I have tried and was very impressed!! This makes 10 of the regular sized muffins (my tin has 7cm diameter holes). You could put water in the spare two holes to save your pan buckling!

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 10 muffins, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

250 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
110 g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
225 ml milk
85 g butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
75 g light brown sugar (soft)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190deg C/375 deg F/ Gas Mark 5. Grease 10 cups of a 12 cup muffin tin or line 10 cups with paper muffin cases. For the cinnamon sugar, mix together the cinnamon and the light brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
  • For the Muffins, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the egg, milk and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and mix briefly until just combined (I used a spatula, and made sure it was still lumpy).
  • Put a tablespoon of the batter into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle each muffin with a heaped teaspoon of cinnamon sugar, then spoon some more batter and cinnamon sugar into the muffin cup. Finish with a layer of batter, dividing it evenly. Using a fine skewer or the tip of a sharp knife, swirl the mixture in each muffin cup to achieve the marbled effect.
  • Bake in the oven for 18-20 mins, or until risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes (the sugar mixture will remain really hot, so don't be tempted to try them sooner), then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold. These can be frozen too!

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistency.
  • Creaming butter and sugar: Cream butter and sugar for at least 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. This incorporates air and makes the muffins tender.
  • Mix dry and wet ingredients separately: Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt) in one bowl and the wet ingredients (creamed butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla) in another. This prevents overmixing and helps maintain a light texture.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients gradually: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. This helps prevent lumps and ensures even distribution.
  • Do not overmix: Overmixing can result in dense, tough muffins. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Prepare the filling: Combine cinnamon and sugar for the filling. You can adjust the amount of cinnamon to your preference.
  • Swirl in the filling: Drop a spoonful of batter into each muffin cup, top with a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar filling, and then add more batter to fill the cup.
  • Bake at high temperature initially: Bake the muffins at 400°F (200°C) for the first 5 minutes to give them a rise. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
