Simply Sinful Cinnamon Muffins
I cant say enough good things about these cinnamon muffins. The muffin itself is really good – its actually more like a coffee cake than a muffin, and the cinnamon chips sprinkled throughout are a great addition. But what really makes these muffins stand out is the rich and gooey cinnamon filling. Im only sorry I didnt get a picture of the inside of one of these for you to see! You mix together melted butter, sugar and cinnamon and insert it into the center of each muffin before you bake it. The end result is a muffin that is incredibly rich and full of cinnamon flavor. I made these muffins for a Sunday School snack last week and they were definitely popular. Beware: this is no way a healthy recipe! But sometimes you need a sinful cinnamon muffin in your life.

Step-by-step
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
- For the topping: Mix the ingredients together until crumbly. Set aside.
- For the filling: Mix all ingredients together and set aside.
- For the batter: Whisk the melted butter, milk, and eggs together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the cinnamon chips. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Divide half the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Place ~2 teaspoons of the filling onto each muffin, then top with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with topping and press it in lightly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and wait 5 minutes before transferring them from the pan to a rack to cool.
Limited counter space requires smart staging when assembling multi-component batters. Separate bowls for dry components, the crumb topping, and the cinnamon filling multiply quickly, so clear the sink before measuring anything. Whisking melted butter directly into cold milk solidifies the fat into tiny globules if the temperatures clash drastically; bring the dairy to room temperature first to ensure a smooth emulsion with the eggs.
Substantial sweetness and high fat content demand sharp, bitter pairings on the plate. Strong black coffee or unsweetened cold brew cuts through the dense crumb and cinnamon chips effectively without compounding the sugar load. Acidic fruit, such as tart green apple slices or fresh blackberries, offers a necessary palate cleanser between rich bites.
Stale specimens respond well to thermal revival. Split leftovers horizontally and toast them in a skillet with a pat of butter at medium heat for three minutes to crisp the exterior while softening the center.
