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!

Cinnamon muffins sound well worth waking up for!

We are also muffin lovers and this looks like a great addition to my collection.

Miss Kittie says
May 10, 2010 at 11:47 pmI 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

Da Bee's Knees says
June 21, 2010 at 2:06 pmI 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
June 29, 2010 at 1:54 amSo… 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
August 22, 2010 at 3:23 pmI 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.
Jackie says
November 19, 2010 at 3:27 amYUM!! 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
July 1, 2011 at 9:14 pmJust made your recipe too. They’re still delicious. I definitely agree they turned out moist and tasty. Your daughter has good taste! 🙂
Jenny says
August 26, 2012 at 8:10 amJust made these and ate these! Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will be a staple in our house for sure.
Deborah says
August 26, 2012 at 2:05 pm@Jenny, I’m so glad you liked them!
gumbalina says

Rachel says
December 18, 2012 at 10:49 amI made these this morning and they are fabulous! Thinking of working a little banana into the recipe next time. Muffins are great.
Lissy says
February 11, 2013 at 6:40 pmI 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
February 16, 2013 at 5:26 pmi did the toothpick test and it wont come out clean… im scared i wight overcook them
Weese says
January 6, 2019 at 7:58 pmMy 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
January 11, 2019 at 10:12 pmI’m so glad they were enjoyed by all!
diane says
May 12, 2013 at 8:46 pmWe 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
October 16, 2013 at 12:22 pmJust 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
October 17, 2013 at 10:49 pmI’m so glad you liked them! They are one of my favorites.
Vanessa says
July 24, 2014 at 7:44 pmJust 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
July 25, 2014 at 8:58 amSo glad you loved them! My kids love them, too!
Olivia L. says
November 26, 2015 at 8:33 pmThese muffins are DELICIOUS!!! I baked these and I found them more moist if I used only egg whites, but otherwise, 10/10.
Sandra says
January 17, 2016 at 6:08 pmThese 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
January 18, 2016 at 11:09 pmI’m so glad you liked them! My kids love these muffins, and I’m glad we could share them with you!
Sherlynn Teo says
March 21, 2016 at 9:40 amI MADE THEM TWICE IN 3 DAYS. SUPER SUPER LIGHT AND YUMMY 🙂 THANK YOUUUU MY FAMILY LOVED THEM!!!
Deborah says
March 22, 2016 at 9:41 pmAwesome – so glad you have loved them!!
Rachael G says
March 31, 2016 at 5:02 pmI’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
May 28, 2016 at 1:12 pmI made these and few days ago and everyone loved these (especially our kids). I blogged about them as well:
🙂
gumbalina says
June 10, 2016 at 1:12 pmafter 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
June 11, 2016 at 11:29 amFINALLY 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
June 14, 2016 at 3:22 pmAwesome – I’m so glad you liked them!!
Lisa says
June 25, 2016 at 4:57 pmI 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
June 25, 2016 at 9:50 pmHaha – I think it happens to all of us!! I’m SO happy they worked out and you liked them!
Angel says
August 3, 2016 at 2:45 amLove 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
August 3, 2016 at 9:58 amI love that even your husband loved them!! <3
Larabeth Miller says
November 8, 2016 at 12:01 pmAnyone 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
January 8, 2017 at 2:48 pmI 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
January 22, 2017 at 10:20 pmI substituted apple sauce for the vegetable oil, turned out amazing! Thank you
Deborah says
January 23, 2017 at 10:45 amAwesome – I’m going to have to try applesauce next time!
Ale says
January 24, 2017 at 2:50 pmDoes the taste change if you use brown sugar, olive oil and skim milk?
Deborah says
January 25, 2017 at 12:32 amI 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
February 9, 2017 at 7:19 amDo you happen to have the nutritional vale/calories per muffin/etc for these muffins?
Deborah says
February 20, 2017 at 11:25 pmRight 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
September 10, 2017 at 9:50 pmThese 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
September 13, 2017 at 12:09 amAnd I think they taste better than store bought muffins! 😉
Pamela Pauley says
February 10, 2018 at 1:18 pmCould I use applesauce instead of the oil?
Deborah says
February 10, 2018 at 11:17 pmI 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
February 21, 2018 at 1:57 pmWow! 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
February 24, 2018 at 7:28 amI’m so glad you loved them! They are one of my favorites, too 🙂
Lynne says
March 13, 2018 at 1:12 pmThese look delicious. Can they be baked as a loaf or in a 13×9 pan instead?
Deborah says
March 15, 2018 at 10:46 amI 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
March 16, 2018 at 6:51 pmHave 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
March 21, 2018 at 12:42 amHello! 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
March 22, 2018 at 10:40 amYou 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
April 30, 2018 at 7:22 pmJust came back to say AMAZING!!! Just the way you wrote the recipe! Thanks again! This has become a “Go To” for us!!! 💗
Tonyia says
March 25, 2018 at 4:24 pmI made these today. They are very good. I think next time I make them I may add some apple pie filling in .
Deborah says
March 30, 2018 at 6:50 amOoooh, love the sound of the apple pie filling in these! I’m glad you liked them!
Kandice says
June 15, 2018 at 11:03 amI was thinking the same thing. Adding apple to them.
Peggy says
April 4, 2018 at 1:36 pmThese look delicious! Would it be okay to use the paper cupcake liners that I use for cupcakes?
Deborah says
April 4, 2018 at 9:38 pmYes – that would work just fine!
Sadia says
May 2, 2018 at 8:56 pmI 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
June 15, 2018 at 11:44 amI 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
June 26, 2018 at 9:27 amWondering 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
June 28, 2018 at 9:57 amHow long would it have to be in oven if I use mini muffin pan to make them?
Jeri says
September 3, 2018 at 7:08 amThese 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
September 4, 2018 at 7:17 amI’m so glad that you loved them!!
SJ says
September 8, 2018 at 9:53 amThe 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
September 11, 2018 at 9:39 amOh, Ricky – thanks so much for making these muffins! It makes me so happy when I see kids making my recipes!
Isha says
September 12, 2018 at 8:13 pmI 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
September 20, 2018 at 2:41 pmCan you substitute wheat flour? If so is it same ratio?
Shona says
October 7, 2018 at 6:39 pmI only have self rising flour can I make them with that and take out the baking soda?
Deborah says
October 9, 2018 at 11:17 amI 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
October 23, 2018 at 7:26 pmI 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
October 25, 2018 at 9:06 amMy family loved these! So light and fluffy. Definitely making them again…
Nicole says
November 2, 2018 at 12:57 pmThese 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.

Receitas says
December 6, 2018 at 6:39 pmSimple and delicious!
Bev says
December 21, 2018 at 8:18 pmI 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! 🙂

Jasmine says
January 27, 2019 at 9:38 pmMade 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!
