<strong>Muffins</strong>:
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray two 12-count mini muffin pans with floured cooking spray; set aside.
To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large bowl and hand mixer), combine egg, butter, sugars, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed to cream ingredients until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the buttermilk. Beat momentarily to incorporate.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just incorporated; don’t overmix. Batter will be fairly thick.
Using a spoon sprayed with cooking spray so the batter slides off easily, drop rounded tablespoons into prepared pans. Fill each cavity about 2/3 to 3/4-full. (I made 24 large-ish mini muffins and in order to keep the yield at an even 24 muffins, I recommend dividing batter equally among the 24 wells.)
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until muffins are domed with set centers, are springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. See Notes below regarding baking time.
Allow muffins to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing. While the muffins cool, prepare the topping.
<strong>Topping</strong>:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power; set aside.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
After the muffins have cooled, dip the top of each muffin briefly in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar, and repeat until all muffins have been coated. Optionally, the entire muffin could be buttered and coated similar to traditional cinnamon-sugar donut holes, and in doing so, you’ll need to melt more butter and use more cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately.
