Notes

Tips and tricks

  • Room temperature ingredients - Room temperature ingredients will mix better and also allow the batter to rise higher.
  • Cook times may vary - Depending on which muffin mix you use and how much you filled the liners, the bake time will vary. It's best to keep the oven light on and check with a toothpick before removing from the oven.
  • Do not over mix the batter - Like most baking recipes, over mixing the batter will change the texture of the muffins. Mix the ingredients until just combined for moist and fluffy muffins.
  • Use a mini muffin pan - If you want to make smaller, snack sized servings, bake these cinnamon muffins in a mini muffin tin.
