Cinnamon Muffins (Yeast)

I'm not going to lie, these are a pain in the butt to make!  Not difficult, just a lot of steps.  They are pretty tasty though.

Batter:

1 c. warm milk

1 Tbs. yeast

1/3 c. sugar

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs, beaten

2 /4 c.flour

1/2 tsp. salt

 

Topping:

3 tbs. butter (room temp)

1 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

Grease 12 cup muffin tin, set aside.  Poor milk in mixing bowl, then sprinkle yeast over top.  Add oil, vanilla, and egg.  Then mix in flour, sugar, and salt and mix just until combined.  Set aside 

Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork until crumbly.  Add about about a tsp. to the bottom of each muffin tin.  Then fill the muffin tins a little with batter (about 1/3 high), add some more topping, then fill with more batter until about 2/3 full.  If there is leftover topping press it into the top of the muffin.  

Place muffin tin in a cold oven and preheat to 350 degrees.  Bake 17-20 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.  Move then to a plate and then drizzle them with glaze (recipe below).

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

3-4 TBS milk

1/4 tsp. almond extract
