I got this recipe from a blog. They were so good I had to share, and pretty simple to make as well. If you'd like to make other types of muffins you can add 1 cup of whatever you would like (chocolate chips, blueberries, etc.) and omit the cinnamon sugar topping.

I'm always looking for new muffin recipes, and this one caught my eye. I love the combination of cinnamon and sugar, and the muffins are so light and fluffy. They're perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

I made a few small changes to the recipe. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I added a bit of nutmeg to the batter. I also baked the muffins for a few minutes longer, so that they would be golden brown. The muffins turned out perfectly, and they were even better than I expected. My family loved them, and I'm sure I'll be making them again soon.

Step-by-step

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
    • In a medium-large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients.
    • Add wet ingredients and stir until combined, but still a bit lumpy. Don't overmix.
    • Scoop batter into muffin tins that have sprayed with cooking spray.
    • Bake for 20-25 muffins, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges.
    • For the topping, mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place melted butter in another small bowl. Dip the warm muffins in melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar.
