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!

Ooo I love the sound of a muffin week! I love muffins too – they're so great to have in the freezer for weekday snacks. These ones look amazing – I love the cinnamon sugar on top.
Miss Kittie says
I read about these a few hours ago and made them IMMEDIATELY!
They came out amazing! Do you mind if I post photos of them and a link to here on my blog? http://wordpress.com/flavorprofiling
Miss Kittie says
Whoops! I meant http://flavorprofiling.wordpress.com
I posted the review & hope that gets you some traffic!
Da Bee's Knees says
I made these muffins for my pregnant daughter in law last night. She was craving muffins.
She ate three in one sitting! I had one this morning with coffee. Oh. My. Soooo good.
I chose to simply top the muffins with turbinado sugar before baking. Too delicious! This recipe is a home run! Thank you!
Da Bee's Knees says
So… I'm back to leave another comment. I am smitten with this recipe!
I made it AGAIN to go with our late Sunday breakfast yesterday!
And I plan to whip up a batch to take into work tomorrow, too.
This recipe will make me the work HERO! Thank you, again!
My name is Momma says
I just finished making these muffins. They are delicious and very moist. I ended up with enough batter for 18 regular sized muffins. YUM!!
I will definitely make again.
Linda says
There muffins were yummy in my tummy.😆 My cats enjoyed them as well, but they also threw up on my carpet. 😉
Jackie says
YUM!! I made your muffins and they are DELICIOUS!! I love them!! And my boyfriend did too!! And they are sooo easy! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe.
Laura says
Just made your recipe too. They’re still delicious. I definitely agree they turned out moist and tasty. Your daughter has good taste! 🙂
Jenny says
Just made these and ate these! Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will be a staple in our house for sure.
Deborah says
@Jenny, I’m so glad you liked them!
gumbalina says
please come up with a GOOD cinnamon BRAN muffin recipe for us too LOL
Rachel says
I made these this morning and they are fabulous! Thinking of working a little banana into the recipe next time. Muffins are great.
Lissy says
I made these for the people at the veterinary practice where i apprentice at and they loved them and the mufffins turned out fabulous!!! Definately a great recipe. Thanks for posting it! 🙂
dawn says
i did the toothpick test and it wont come out clean… im scared i wight overcook them
Weese says
My my, these muffins are delish! Quite popular at my home. My brothers just devoured them, and my daughter could not have been more pleased! I hope to see more recipes from you in the future!
Deborah says
I’m so glad they were enjoyed by all!
diane says
We make these muffins all the time now! I make the following changes – 1/2 c. almond or oat flour, 1 1/2 c. regular – TWO tbsp. cinnamon instead of one! – add 1 tsp vanilla – 3/4 c. sugar instead of 1 c. – 1/2 milk, 1/2 yogurt. We (my 3 year old and I) also make a topping for them now, just crushing up TJ’s slightly sweetened walnuts in a bag w/cinnamon and brown sugar, and sprinkling that on top. They are crazy good!!!!! 🙂
Halie says
Just made these and ate two right out of the oven..they are amazing =] I love cinnamon and these definitely hit the spot. They are so light and flavorful! Thanks for the recipe!
Deborah says
I’m so glad you liked them! They are one of my favorites.
Vanessa says
Just made these! They are great!! My girls love cinnamon and ate two each right out of the oven. Next time I will add a little more cinnamon. My mother-in-law likes them because they are not too sweet!! Great recipe!! And VERY easy!
Deborah says
So glad you loved them! My kids love them, too!
Olivia L. says
These muffins are DELICIOUS!!! I baked these and I found them more moist if I used only egg whites, but otherwise, 10/10.
Sandra says
These are very good! I wanted a cinnamon muffin that wasn’t too sweet and not too heavy on the cinnamon. I was a tiny bit worried after I mixed the batter since it was very cinnamon colored but the final result was perfect for me! It made 12 muffins in my muffin pan – not the oversized ones but these may be slightly larger than a standard cupcake pan. I had another pan ready just in case but didn’t need it.
Deborah says
I’m so glad you liked them! My kids love these muffins, and I’m glad we could share them with you!
Sherlynn Teo says
I MADE THEM TWICE IN 3 DAYS. SUPER SUPER LIGHT AND YUMMY 🙂 THANK YOUUUU MY FAMILY LOVED THEM!!!
Deborah says
Awesome – so glad you have loved them!!
Rachael G says
I’ve been trying different cinnamon muffins recipes, and have been disappointed until this one! They’re delicious and exactly as moist as I wanted. Thank you!
Gina Malone says
I made these and few days ago and everyone loved these (especially our kids). I blogged about them as well:
🙂
gumbalina says
after reading all the reviews I can’t wait to get off of work and go home and make some LOL muffins and a disney movie with the grandbaby!
gumbalina says
FINALLY A PINTEREST POST KEEPER THIS MORNING…..2 ingredient banana pancakes NOT SO MUCH….YUCK….. just pulled these babies out of the oven and I am already working on my SECOND muffin with butter. soooooo good with coffee…..A DEFINATE KEEPER! thank you
Deborah says
Awesome – I’m so glad you liked them!!
Lisa says
I was making these muffins and when I was putting the batter in the muffin tin, I thought it looked a bit thin. But when you are making something for the first time you just go with it. Then I saw the eggs I had taken out but didn’t use. The batter survived the remix I had to do and the muffins were still delicious! 🙂 I have an autoimmune disease that has wreaked havoc with my memory. I just have to take it all in stride & not beat myself up over it. Your recipe is mistake proof!
Lisa
Deborah says
Haha – I think it happens to all of us!! I’m SO happy they worked out and you liked them!
Angel says
Love this recipe! 🙂 my husband isn’t a fan of cinnamon but he couldn’t get enough of these. Neither could our picky son. Thanks so much!
Deborah says
I love that even your husband loved them!! <3
Larabeth Miller says
Anyone have a problem with lumpiness in the batter? Tips? I didn’t want to over mix it like stated in the recipe, but what do I do?
Thanks!
Amy says
I found this recipe on Pinterest last week, looking for a quick easy muffin recipe. My daughter loves cinnamon. These are PERFECT in every way. I packed one in her snack, and her lunch. She also had one for breakfast. I’d say they are a huge success. I have another batch in the oven right now. Thank you for sharing these!!!
Chrissy says
I substituted apple sauce for the vegetable oil, turned out amazing! Thank you
Deborah says
Awesome – I’m going to have to try applesauce next time!
Ale says
Does the taste change if you use brown sugar, olive oil and skim milk?
Deborah says
I think it would change the taste quite a bit, especially with the olive oil. Vegetable oil is a pretty neutral oil, so the flavor of the olive oil would be a lot more prominent. They still might work, but they would taste different.
Becca says
Do you happen to have the nutritional vale/calories per muffin/etc for these muffins?
Deborah says
Right now, I don’t provide nutritional information, but it’s pretty easy to enter the information to get a count on an online calorie counter.
Alisha says
These muffins are great and easy to make! I looked up the ingredients in a calorie counter and if you make 15 muffins with all of the ingredients, they come out at about 190 calories each! Which is half the calories of a store bought/ bakery muffin!
Deborah says
And I think they taste better than store bought muffins! 😉
Pamela Pauley says
Could I use applesauce instead of the oil?
Deborah says
I have not tried substituting, but I would guess that it would work. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!
Mike says
Wow! These are the best…..I made them for work…..as of right now there are not going to be enough for work cause I keep eating them……..looks like I will be making another batch…..thanks for the easy to follow and great tasting recipe…..
Deborah says
I’m so glad you loved them! They are one of my favorites, too 🙂
Lynne says
These look delicious. Can they be baked as a loaf or in a 13×9 pan instead?
Deborah says
I have only tried this recipe as muffins, so I couldn’t say for sure. My guess is that it would work, though. Let me know if you try and if it turns out!
Kathy says
Have you or anyone else used mini muffin pan to make them? Please let me know I think my grandbabies would love them. Thanks, can’t wait to make them.
Jeannie says
Hello! I’m going to be making these in 2 days can’t wait! Is it possible to make the batter ahead of time or is it best to do right before baking? Also on Facebook someone said that 4 teaspoons of Baking powder was too much but is that why you used? Thanks so much! Super excited to try!
Deborah says
You wouldn’t want to make this batter ahead of time because the baking powder is activated by the liquid, so they need to be baked right away. And I’ve made these dozens of times with the 4 teaspoons of baking powder, and they work every time, but feel free to try less if you’d like. I haven’t tried decreasing the amount, so I’m not sure how they would turn out. I hope you love them!!
Jeannie Delgado says
Just came back to say AMAZING!!! Just the way you wrote the recipe! Thanks again! This has become a “Go To” for us!!! 💗
Tonyia says
I made these today. They are very good. I think next time I make them I may add some apple pie filling in .
Deborah says
Ooooh, love the sound of the apple pie filling in these! I’m glad you liked them!
Kandice says
I was thinking the same thing. Adding apple to them.
GirlyD58 says
That’s what I’m doing! They’re baking as we speak. I found the batter to be rather thin. I’m thinking I’ll decrease the oil to 1/4 cup and possibly increase the flour by 1/2 cup
Peggy says
These look delicious! Would it be okay to use the paper cupcake liners that I use for cupcakes?
Deborah says
Yes – that would work just fine!
Sadia says
I made these but am not sure why they cracked on the top and didn’t fully rise! What did I do wrong? I adjusted the temperature to Celsius and reduced by 20 as I have a fan oven. Was that a mistake?
Kandice says
I added pie filling to it. They were yummy. But next time i’ll try it without it. Also replaced the oil with apple sauce.
★★★★★
Laurie says
Wondering if anybody has made the muffins as mini sized and how long you cooked them. Trying to cut down calories and eat a mini size.
Gileanne says
How long would it have to be in oven if I use mini muffin pan to make them?
Jeri says
These muffins are delicious. I usually make blueberries and corn. These are going into my rotation. I put all the batter in 12 muffins tins. They came out great – I baked them for 20 mins.
Deborah says
I’m so glad that you loved them!!
SJ says
The muffins were great and even better when we added a vanilla glaze. The recipe was a great way to get my son to make the family breakfast.
It is me ricky my mom did the the first half of the message the muffins were amazing even though they were even better with glazing on them
★★★★
Deborah says
Oh, Ricky – thanks so much for making these muffins! It makes me so happy when I see kids making my recipes!
Isha says
I cannot eat egg so I made this with egg replacer and it worked great! I added apples that I chop, put in a pot, put in brown sugar and maple syrup. These are a fall go to.
Terra says
Can you substitute wheat flour? If so is it same ratio?
Shona says
I only have self rising flour can I make them with that and take out the baking soda?
Deborah says
I have not tried it, but I would cut the baking powder down to 2 teaspoons instead of 4 and leave the salt out of the recipe. Let me know if you try and how they turn out!
Momof7 says
I made these twice the first time i followed the instruction and they turned out very good but a little dry the second time i added 2 apples diced and tsp vanilla 1 tsp brown sugar to the topping and they turned out amazing thanks for sharing
Keri says
My family loved these! So light and fluffy. Definitely making them again…
Nicole says
These are just “ok”. Very simple, nothing too exciting. Baked up nicely but cinnamon flavor was not strong enough in my opinion and needed something more, maybe a streusel topping(?). Just kind of boring.

jeanette says
Our family loves these muffins!
★★★★★
Receitas says
Simple and delicious!
Bev says
I made mini muffins to take to my in-laws. Baked at 350 for 10min… turned out great! I will probably add 1/4 cup more sugar next time…I think it should be a bit sweeter… I mean if I’m going to eat sugar and cinnamon for breakfast I want it to be sah-weeeet! 🙂
★★★★★
Carolyn Jones says
Just found this recipe. I’m going to make them & put some kind of frosting on them. Maybe chream cheese
Jasmine says
Made these with flax seed because of my egg allergy. They are delicious and very moist 10/10 hands down. They were a hit with the kids also. thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
Deborah says
Yay! My family loves them, too!
Elisa says
I used your recipe with gluten-free all purpose flour, coconut sugar and dairy-free milk (due to food intolerances), and they were delicious! Much more moist and springy (rather than dry and dense) than many gluten free baked goods I’ve tried making. My family didn’t know they were GF and DF until I told them after they approved the results. Thanks for the simple and tasty recipe (easily tweaked for food allergies).
★★★★★
Tina says
I woke up with a craving for cinnamon muffins but have never made them. This recipe was perfect!!! The taste and texture was exactly what I was hoping for. Definitely will make these again cuz they won’t last long.
Bev says
Just made these as I had all ingredients on hand, very light and delicious straight out of the oven. I wanted to try apple sauce instead of oil but didn’t want to risk it….I will next time!
★★★★★
Samantha says
I didn’t have any eggs, so I substituted with one large banana, and did everything else the same as called for and they turned out phenomenal. My daughter loved them too!
Jesseca says
I saw you post these on Instagram forever ago and we’ve been making them ever since. It’s the perfect easy muffin base. We found that a few small changes made them perfect for us. I sub apple sauce for the oil, use coconut milk instead of regular, and add blueberries. Super tasty and made regularly here.
★★★★★
Michael says
Oh my gosh! These were phenomenal! So soft and tasteful! I even substituted egg replacer (making it vegan – for those who consider sugar vegan) and they were just as good! So tasty, they will be a go to muffin recipe any time I need a quick treat!

Used gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour and these turned out great! Had to cook for 10 extra mins though but that might have been my old gas oven acting up

So I googled “quick, cheap and easy muffin recipes” because we are broke and in between paychecks. This recipe is AMAZING!!!!!

Tried this recipe and my husband said it was the best muffin he has ever tasted! So this one is a keeper..gotta keep hubby happy😉
DianneG says
I used to make an organic boxed apple cinnamon muffins my kids loved. But I can’t find it any more. So after searching online and seeing too many labor intensive apple cinnamon recipes, I did a search for just cinnamon muffins and found your recipe. I altered it by substituting 1/2 cup apple sauce for the vegetable oil. I also make 12 larger muffins instead of 16. I found it keeps better without the added sugar/cinnamon sprinkled on top. If I am making them for immediate needs then I include it. But if I want them for breakfast for the week, I leave it off. This has become our go to recipe for muffins. Thank you! Just a note: I buy the individual apple sauce cups and one is the perfect size. This way a whole jar of apple sauce doesn’t go bad.
★★★★★
Hannah Ruth says
I was looking for a muffin recipe that’s not to sweet and this was perfect! The batter made 6 big muffins and some little ones. If you do make little one take them out first. When they came out I put some butter on top and put my left over cinnamon sugar!♡♡
★★★★★
Jen Tackett says
Perfect from the start! This is a wonderfully moist and tasty muffin. They were gone before they had a chance to cool. Winner
Adysen Trout says
Very helpful thank you so much!🤗

Deborah says
I’m so glad they were well loved! 🙂
Patty says
My husband and I love these muffins!! I added chopped walnuts. I also divided the batter into 12 muffin cups, then put them in a 450° oven, and after 5 minutes turned the oven back down to 350° for another 9 minutes. We were treated to over the edge muffin tops, bakery style…only homemade.

Ila says
I am leaving a comment because I just made these, and my children immediately ate 3 each. So simple to make and very delicious. Saved some for school lunches. Thanks.
Brit says
I am a beginner baker (aka I suck at baking) and these muffins are so simple to make but taste amazing. Ive made these 4 times and they’re so hard to keep from eating the whole batch in one sitting.
★★★★★
Noona's Human says
So what happened was this:
I was making a Dutch baby because yes, delicious, and I messed up. I poured a half cup of sugar into my eggs instead of 2 TB – big whoops.
I’m looking everywhere for something else to make that takes 2 eggs and a half cup or more of sugar and there’s nothing I want to actually put in my mouth.
Then!
Cinnamon muffins? Heck yes please, I love cinnamon.
Made these with cardamom and clove. Half cup of water and half cup of oat milk (you can always half water or use just water in quick breads). Everything else the same except for my eyeballing the spices instead of measuring.
Amazing little moist cakes. Light and delicate crumb. Perfect. Plain enough to eat w fancy coffee or tea and still enjoy the beverage but flavorful enough to stand up to that fancy coffee and tea.
★★★★★
Jezzahell03 says
I just made these, and I added a cinnamon glaze on top, so yummy. I also put some into my donut pan and they turned out great. I’ll be using this recipe again for sure!

This recipe was quick and simple but most of all it was truly delicious! I’m more than pleased and was pleasantly surprised at just how amazing they are. Also loved the making a well to pour the liquid it made mixing so much easier.
★★★★★
Katie says
Forgot to add I’ve made tons of homemade muffins but these are my favorite. I made them after not feeling well from a cold but needing to make some breakfast for me and my toddler and even not feeling well they were quick and easy. I honestly felt better than I have in days after having them so maybe I just needed a pick me up
★★★★★
Annie says
This recipe is great! With some butter on the top I could eat these things all day!!
★★★★★
Sylvia black says
I like it and it was easy to make.
Dettie Walker says
I enjoyed the recipe, however I am one of those people who have to fuss with things. First I added 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and baked about half the batch. they were good, Then I added a tablespoon of vanilla and chopped a med size apple to the second half, I really enjoyed those. Thank you for a great basic recipe that I can play with, those seem to be something at least in baking I have yet to master.
Cheryl Scott says
Do you need liners for the pan?
Deborah says
I usually just spray the tins with nonstick cooking spray, but you can use liners instead, if you’d like!
Luv to bake says
It is one of my favorites!! Lots of cinnamon!! I wish I could print the recipe without the advertising showing up on the printout.
Ps thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!!

I used avocado oil for this recipe, everyone in the house devoured them.
Thanks for the recipe!

Erica says
This recipe was great – not to sweet and not too cinnamony. I added pecans and it took them to the next level – I just chopped them and put them at the bottom and put the batter on top. This will definitely be added to my rotation. Thanks!

Joyce says
Loved this! I, however, replaced the eggs with flax seeds and cut the amount of sugar in half, turned out flawless.

Super simple and easy made them as birthday muffins for breakfast! Very tasty

I made these first time ever. We loved them! I made some muffins and Bundt cake too, same recipe. Absolutely amazing .
Zehra says
Confinement brought me here. I tried the recipe, delicious !! The next day cake tasted even better. Since am always on diet next time i will reduce a bit the amount of sugar. Else 👍

This was the best muffin recipe I have ever made! It was delicious in every way. It tastes best once taken out of the oven!

Silly question. How long do the cool in pan before taking out?
Deborah says
I usually cool them at least 5 minutes.
dellll says
makes a lot of mixture !!! but tastes very yummy
★★★★
Robby Stone says
Pretty darn solid. Only had 3/4 cup of milk so I topped it off with plain Greek yogurt. I also apparently tossed out the perfectly fine muffin tin when we moved so this ended up split between 6 standard coffee mugs and microwaved for ~6 minutes. Not as good as baked but still pretty good.
★★★★★
T Slaick says
I made this recipe for my mom. She likes bigger muffins, so I made 6 big ones ( 5 min longer cook). She said they were the best. Thank you for your help.
Kathleen says
Is four teaspoons of baking powder correct? It seems like alot
Deborah says
It’s correct!
Amanda says
Just made this recipe. LOVE IT. I only had whole wheat flour but still came out amazing. I think next time I’ll add apples to the mix 🙂
★★★★★
Martha says
I found this recipe when we were 2 weeks into staying home and only had 2 eggs. We had no breakfast supplies and we did not want to risk going out. I subbed the milk with Oat milk as my daughter has allergies and they came out lovely. Now, this is all she wants to have. Thank you so much. We love them! Au top as the french say!
DAG says
I made these today with a couple of changes. I used whole wheat flour, and 1/3 cup pure cup maple syrup instead of sugar. Then, I cut up some frozen blackberries and layered them with the mix in the muffin tins. Then I tried a new trick I read about: cooking at 450 for the first 5 minutes to get taller muffins. Boy are they good!!! We will enjoy them this week while hunkered down at home.

These were so wonderful!!! My 5yr old wanted to make muffins, so I wanted a simpler recipe that didn’t have a lot of ingredients. This fit the requirements and tasted beyond what I expected! **we did sprinkle dark brown sugar on the top instead of the cinnamon/sugar in the recipe because the 5yr old wanted to try it. Lol. I hope he keeps wanting to bake. <3

I made this recipe for my mom for Mother’s day.
I tried them before she did to make sure they tasted good. I usually don’t write comments on recipes, but these muffins are so delicious. I can’t wait for my mom to try them when she wakes up. I want to sincerely thank the person who made this recipe. I bet these muffins will go great with some coffee.
Talia says
These muffins were perfect! Followed the recipe aside for sugar and oil amounts – used 3/4 cup vs 1 cup sugar for main recipe, 1 tsp vs 2 tbsp sugar for topping, and a little less oil. Came out delicious. Easy and quick.

I was so excited when I opened the oven and saw my muffins looked like store bought. Thank you for sharing such an easy and rewarding muffin recipe. I look forward to my next bake.

Great recipe, definitely making this one again! Only small suggestion would be to group the topping ingredients separately from the main ingredients. It just makes it easier to follow, especially if you have an extra helpful three year old to keep an eye on ha.

perfect recipe! super easy to make & way better than store brand. Im pretty sure I made about 24 muffins total. They also taste really good if you want to drop a few chocolate chips or walnuts into a couple!
Linda says
This is a great muffin! I used 1 cup of wholewheat flour and 1 cup all -purpose and added about 1 1/2 cups chopped apple. The muffins were a huge hit with our branding crew and the next morning my husband wanted to know if there were any left–not a one! Thank you, this is a keeper for sure!

I halved the recipe and made these with my toddler boys this morning! It was hit! Thank you for the recipe.
Marcy says
These came out great! I had to substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour since I have celiacs (i used bob’s gluten-free flour) and it came out good! reminds me of coffee cakes which I used to like before having celiacs.

Thank you! I substituted 1/4 c applesauce + 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar + 1/4 tsp of baking soda (for the eggs) due to my kids allergies and these were some of the best muffins I ever made them.

Easy to make – unlikely we will make again- not exceptionally flavorful even with adding extra cinnamon sugar.

I made this recipie, I loved it so much that I gave my neighbors some of them! Great, I will love to make them again
Grace C says
I tried this recipe based on the fact that I mostly had cinnamon and not much else for a fun recipe. These turned out absolutely amazing! My mum and I just melted when we tasted them. Instead of cows milk, I used unsweetened almond and used only 3/4 of sugar. I also added a wee bit of chocolate chips just for a small taste each muffin. I highly recommend, thank you!

This is a good basic recipe but I can clearly taste 4 tsp. of baking powder. Otherwise the recipe is good it just needs some tweaking.

I made this recipe this morning. After reading several peoples comments, I made a few changes. I used 3/4 cup of sugar,added more cinnamon, and used almond milk in place of milk. I turned the oven to 450for a few minutes then dropped to 375. They were good,but next time I will remember to spray the cupcake liners and add some vanilla extract to the recipe. Also I will try them without the sugar on top and replace with a drizzle of icing. To make them first thing in the morning for my grandkids before school, I mixed all the dry ingredients in a sealed container. Add the wet ingredients to the prepared muffin tinsel with liners and it was so quick and easy. Such a great simple recipe.

This was a great muffin recipe. Especially for kids. The second time I made it I was out of milk, so I added vanilla Greek yogurt and vanilla extract and baked it in a cake pan instead. It was like coffee cake …love how versatile it is! Thanks!

I loved this recipe so much!
Cassandra Perez says
I love this recipe! It was simple to make with all very easy ingredients that I had on hand. It did take longer than 15 minutes in the oven, probably closer to 20, so be sure to do the knife test. But these muffins are delicious, moist, and I love the topping. It’s not too sweet either, which my boyfriend liked. Highly recommend! I’ll be making this again for sure.

I love these muffins 💕 I make muffins every Sunday I have tried a lot of muffin recipes. This is my favorite. I used it for a basic recipe easily adjusted and added mini chocolate chips. Yum
Amanda says
I might actually cry. I used to make this exact recipe years ago but I never wrote it down. I’d google “cinnamon muffins” and scroll through the story of the little girl who loves helping in the kitchen and muffin week. Then we moved and changed our internet service and google never brought me back here again. This week my teenager asked why I changed up the cinnamon muffin recipe. They used to be so much better.
Now here we are. You reposted and I’ve found you again. So thank you. 😘 We’ll have muffins again. 💕

I’m curious how all of these people tried this recipe, but no one questioned the amount of baking soda? 4 tsps is a lot and I made the first batch and had to throw it out because of the bitterness.

Deborah says
It should be baking powder, not baking soda – that could be why they were so bitter?
Jayne says
I substituted the 1/2 oil for 2/3 margarine and they turned out perfect. They rose like little mountains 🙂

These turned out so well! I decided to use strusel crumb topping instead of cinnamon sugar, and it was fabulous! Chopped apple would be a great addition if you want to experiment. Great for welcoming in fall!

I just made these for breakfast and my family likes them. I have a question though. Why do they taste like banana bread?
Deborah says
I actually just made these for breakfast this weekend, too! I have never had them taste like banana bread, so I’m not sure why yours did?

This is the muffin recipe you want to make!! Perfect muffins, easy to make. So moist and delicious! My family thanks you! Especially my 7yr. old 🙂

Vilya Thomas says
The muffin is tender, has good texture and a good crown. However, it does not have a disernable cinnamon flavour. I added an extra teaspoon of cinnamon after tasting the batter and it made no difference. I gave one to my girlfriend who is brutally frank with critiquing my baking and she made the same observation after sampling. It is my suggestion that the cinnamon content be revisited in the main recipe ingredients. It definitely needs more cinnamon perhaps 2Tbsps.
