Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease a muffin tin or tart molds with butter.

In a bowl, mix together flour and baking powder until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until frothy.

Add milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the egg mixture; stir until well combined.

Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients; mix until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and set.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the molds for a few minutes.

Gently remove the queijadas from the molds and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve at room temperature or chilled.
