Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to form a paste for the swirl.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add a dollop of cinnamon swirl, then top with remaining batter.
  7. Use a toothpick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool muffins for about 5 minutes, then create the glaze and drizzle over the muffins.
