A family favorite, these Cinnamon Muffins are tender and sweet and filled with lots of cinnamon flavor.
These Cinnamon Muffins were originally posted May 4, 2010, but I’ve been making them a lot lately, so I decided to bring them back to the front. And add a video! These are super easy and my whole family devours them!
The original post from 2010 follows:
I am on a muffin kick lately. In fact, I even thought about doing a “Muffin Week” because I have so many recipes to share, but then I decided against it since I have my Cookbook of the Month and Saturdays with Rachael Ray posts that would just mess everything up. Plus, I don’t want to ruin them by giving you too much of a good thing, right? So you may not see a whole week of muffins, but I can guarantee that you’ll see lots of muffins here over the next month(s).
See how to make these Cinnamon Muffins here:
I’ve always love muffins, but we have discovered that our little girl LOVES muffins. Seriously, I don’t think anything else makes her happier. She sees a muffin and you won’t hear the end of it until she gets one (or two). And she can really put them down for a 15-month old. And since I love her so much, I make her muffins. (Don’t worry – as much as she’d love sugary muffins to be her breakfast every morning, I really only make them about once a week!)
These muffins are exactly what I was hoping for. I’m rarely disappointed when I go to one of my family cookbooks for a recipe, and this one did not dissappoint. I did add the cinnamon sugar to the top – the original recipe didn’t have that – but besides that, I didn’t need to change a thing. Super easy, super delicious!

My teenage daughter loves these! She asked for more as soon as they were gone. The only modification I made was that I used buttermilk instead of milk to increase the richness and moistness and they were perfect.
