Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups complete pancake mix
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

FOR THE TOPPING

  • cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease muffin cups with butter.
  • In a medium bowl, mix pancake mix and buttermilk well.
  • Then stir in vanilla.
  • Divide batter between muffin cups so that they are about ⅔ full.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While muffins are baking, make the coating.
  • Melt the butter in a bowl or glass pan. In a separate container, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
  • As soon as muffins are done, allow them to cool for just a minute or two before turning them out of the pan. Dip the warm muffins in the butter, coating thoroughly. Then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Don't be afraid to really coat 'em up.
  • Serve warm and enjoy

Notes

  • No buttermilk, use this hack add about a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to your milk and allow I to sit for a few minutes 
  • want mini muffins instead cut the recipe in half or make even more batches, bake for about 10-15 minutes
