2 Each eggs
1 cup whole milk
2
Combine dry ingredients
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing bowls

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3

Measuring cups and spoons

3/4 cup granulated sugar
4
Add eggs and vanilla
Rubber spatula
Mixing bowls
Electric hand mixer

1/2 cup whole milk
6
Bake and cool cupcakes
Toothpick
12-cup muffin pan
