It really doesn't matter what time it is when you sink your teeth into these moist muffins. I started out making them for breakfast, but the family kept making snacks and dessert out of them. The muffins barely made it to the end of the day. They were delicious with coffee, and hot tea, and not overly sweet. I found myself working each bite to have the right balance of cinnamon-sugar topping with golden brown bottom. I get it from my kids.
HERE'S ALL IT TAKES
wet ingredients
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk (soy, almond, coconut, etc.)
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
dry ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
cinnamon-sugar topping
- 1/2 cup melted butter in one bowl
- 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in another bowl
Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease bottoms of 12-muffin cup pan.
Beat milk, applesauce and vinegar in a medium bowl. Add in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt all at once. Stir just until flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy; do not over stir.
Use a large cookie dough scooper to fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake until golden brown, 16 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from pan and carefully roll hot muffin tops in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Store cooled muffins in a container with a loose fitting lid and enjoy them later on in your day. I like to use recycled plastic containers for bread storage.

"Hello!" in the comments. I want to meet you!

These are in the oven now. Thank you! Perfect timing. I adore the recipes you post.
You’re a sweetheart, Heather. And I LOVE that sweet face in your profile pic. I take it that’s the joy of your life?
I stumbled on this. What a great recipe. I’m always wanting to make muffins in the morning but lack the forethought to buy blueberries and such to add.
Thank you, Stephanie!
I’m that way about dinner. Remember that fresh blueberries keep very well in the freezer. Carefully wash berries and drain on an absorbent towel. Pat dry with another towel. Place dry berries on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Put in the freezer until frozen solid. Within the next 24 hours, package loosely in plastic bags and return to freezer. When you need a cup of blueberries, just scoop them out of the bag and you’re on your way. I don’t bother with thawing them, because it seems they hold up better during the baking process if I fold them into the batter while they’re still frozen.
I just made these using the applesauce instead of butter, and just a pinch of cloves with the cinnamon. They are SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Britta!
A punch of clove, huh? I like the sound of that!
I’m going to guess you mean all purpose flour?
Hi Bitingback,
I thought about writing “all-purpose flour”, but then I knew from experience somebody would come along and ask if they could use whole wheat flour. Then somebody else would suggest half all-purpose, half whole wheat…
While all-purpose flour is the most commonly used flours, bakers have their own preferences when it comes to baking. We tend to use what’s on hand and work it out from there.
I know that flours are not the same with their various levels of proteins and their ability to create the right amount of gluten for the right textures. Even all-purpose flours among different brands are not created equal, depending on the type of wheat grown in certain regions.
So, yes and no, if all-purpose flour is what you have and like to bake with, then go right ahead. If you like to mix flours, do that too. Whatever you enjoy using is fine by me.
These are so good, push some walnuts on the top right before you cook them and it adds that little extra bit.
Great idea, Nicole! Thank you!
Ever tried replacing the large egg with 1/4 cup apple sauce and 1 tsp of baking powder? I’ve got a friend that is vegan who I was thinking of making these for and that is how I generally replace egg – but I saw that you can replace the butter with apple sauce as well.
Hi Mitch!
To be quite honest, I’ve didn’t know I could substitute an egg with applesauce and baking powder. I’ve always heard of replacing the oil with applesauce in baked goods. It works in pancake batter, too. I’m not sure what would happen if you tried to work both substitution in the recipe. If you do try it, please please let me/us know how the texture of the muffins turned out.
I actually made muffins using applesauce in place of egg last night and they came out just fine. I’m not sure what the effect would be of replacing both the oil and the egg, but I’d love to know.
HI Kristen!
I’ve wondered that, too. I’ve read that using 1/4 cup mashed banana can serve to substitute an egg. It will add moisture and help bind, but not help the bread to rise. So, don’t skimp on the baking powder. I say TRY IT on a plain muffin recipe and see what happens. THEN, come back here and TELL ME what you experienced. I’d love to know.
This is a great recipe! As a college student, who can’t afford much, these muffins are great because I have all the ingredients.
I used the oil instead of butter, because that’s all I had.
I also used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
I added more cinnamon to the topping, but that is just a preference.
Very very good, AND AFFORDABLE.
Be proud, you helped a college kid eat for a couple breakfasts!
YEAAAH Samantha!
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. And yes, it does feel good to know that I’ve helped you out.
Let me know what other recipes work for you, too.
Hello!
Hi James!
Hello! I stumbled upon your recipe and will be making these this week. I’m going to sub in non-fat yogurt for the butter, applesauce and baking powder for the egg and see how that works out.
Go for it, Leah!
Be sure to come back and let us know how that works out. I know there’s plenty of folks here that are always looking for lighter recipes.
I used non-fat milk, non-fat Greek Yogurt instead of butter and applesauce/baking powder instead of egg. We didn’t do the cinnamon/sugar, either.
They are crisp on top, and a little moist on the bottom, but not terribly so. They taste lovely and have just a slight “bounce” to the bite due to the non-fat items.
For those counting, this recipe with my substitutions weigh in at 133 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol.
Very nice, Leah! I love how you made this muffin recipe your own. And now, we get the benefit of trying what you did. Sweet!
So your lighter muffin recipe went something like this?
wet ingredients
* 3/4 cup non-fat milk
* 1/2 cup non-fat Greek Yogurt
* 1/4 cup applesauce
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
dry ingredients
* 2 cups flour
* 2/3 cups sugar
* 3 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
I wanna get this right so I could make them, too.
My local grocer doesn’t carry Greek yogurt. Thankfully, I’ve tried it and have learned to get that lovely thick consistency with my favorite yogurt.
I take a wet tea towel, lay it over a mesh strainer set over a bowl. Take a whole carton of my favorite plain yogurt and drop it into the tea towel. Close up the top by folding up the towel’s end and then place it the whole bowl contraption in the frig for 3 hours or overnight. Voila! THICK creamy yogurt.
There are recipes out there that use the whey that drains off the yogurt, if you’re into making use of everything. Whey freezes well, so you don’t have to do anything with it right away.
Now you can add pureed fruit to this THICK yogurt and turn it into a breakfast treat, healthy dessert, fruit dip or a great snack with granola on top.
OH OR! You can add in crushed garlic & lemon juice for a savory sauce to pour over grilled meats. Use it as a dip for a vegetable tray; pour it over gyro sandwiches; pour it over grilled vegetables; just pour it on!
Yes, Jill. That’s exactly it. As I said, they are a bit spongy on the bottom, and especially the ones with fruit (I did three each with cherries, peaches and banana/chocolate chip in addition to the plain). I think they needed to either cook a few minutes longer.
This morning, they are prime toaster-oven candidates.
The crumb is moist, but not horribly so.
On the Greek Yogurt tip – Dannon and Stonybrook are now making it, so if your grocer carries either of those, you can ask for theirs, although they are not good to eat plain. Chobani and Greek Gods are my favorites. You can also marinate meats in the yogurt mixed with spices – does the same thing as marinating in milk. Additionally, if you leave the yogurt in the strainer even longer, you’ll get a spread-like constistency that is good for toast, etc. or you can mix it with herbs and bake it for a hot dip.
I love anything cinnamon. Thnx, just stumbled upon this site.
Hi Kahlela!
Stumbled upon this easy recipe. It will be breakfast tomorrow. I’ll start with the original, then try some of the substitutions mentioned. Can’t wait
Hi PrttyBrd!
I can’t wait to hear back from you and learn what you discovered.
Yum – great looking muffins with simple, on the shelf ingredients.
Thank you, Donna! I try to most of SDR’s recipes sensible and friendly.
This looks so simple and delicious. Look forward to trying it !
Thank you, Danielle!
Be sure to come back and let us know how you made them your own.
Stumbled you, LOVE the look of the recipe! Thanks for sharing!
- BC
THANK YOU, Brittany!
Made these tonight
Perfect bedtime snack with a tall glass of milk, and I can’t wait to have them again in the morning!
ROCK-N-ROLL! Bonnie, you are a woman after my own heart.
THANK YOU!
I know a common substution for egg is banana, would that work instead of apple sauce as well??? I usually have it kicking around in baby food form for baking
Smash up about a half a banana or 1/4 cup applesauce to use as an egg replacer in baked goods such as muffins, pancakes or yeast-free quick breads, such as pumpkin bread, and of course, banana bread! Bananas and applesauce add the perfect amount of thick moisture, like eggs, but they won’t help your dishes rise or turn out light and fluffy, so be sure the recipe you are using includes a bit of baking powder or baking soda to help it rise if needed.
Absolutely adore cinnamon and sugar in anything but your muffins sound delicious. Saw your invite for “stumblers” to say hi – here goes – “Hi”. Can’t wait until the weekend to give this recipe a try. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Kathy!
hello
Hi Jen!
Stumbled on this! Baking them tomorrow! They sound delicious!
Hi Colleen!
Be sure to come back and let us know how they turned out.
Helllllllllo ! -from Stumbleupon
Hi KK!
Hello! I found this via stumble
Hi Jim!
stumbled on this and i made some regular and some with oats, also i used some fresh ground cinnamon with the regular cinnamon
. ill let you know how they turned out!
Hi Juan! I’m looking forward to it.
i love cinnamon! thank you for the recipe!
You’re welcome, Riri!
I’ve stumbled upon this, I’m going to make them for a few friends who will be queuing for a concert since very very early in the morning and they’ll need something nice and tasty to keep them strong…we’ll see how they turn up! If they are a success they will be renamed as “friendship muffins” (everything shared at that queue is renamed friendship whatever). Thanks for the recipe!
I love it, Cris! You’re such a good friend.
Just wanted to thank you for the recipe, as the Friendship Muffins were an absolute success, I made 24, one batch with vanilla and the other one sticking to your recipe. They both went down really well. I’ll be baking them again for sure, many thanks once again!
OH THANK YOU for coming back to share your experience with me/us. I’m so glad this recipe worked out for you.
Now tell me about the ones you made vanilla. How were they different? Measurements please.
I stumbled upon this recipe and I am so excited to make them! They look delicious, and cinnamon-sugar muffins have always been my favorite. Thanks for posting this, it’s always exciting to find recipes I actually have all the ingredients for.
Hi Heather!
I agree with you. Having everything on hand is so much friendlier.
Great recipe!! Easy to make and I had all ingredients onhand!!!
Thank you, Ebowser!
Simple, delicious, and a beautiful presentation-perfect for a busy parent to give their family a sweet treat and golden memory of childhood. Yummy!
Thank you, Emma.
My kiddos love these, too.
Hello
I loved the recipe …. thanks…. if you’ve got any easy Cinnamon recipes please send me!!
thanks a million!
It’s not all the cinnamon recipes there are on SDR but it’s a good start. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Apple Muffins
Simple Banana Coconut Bars
Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins
Banana Oat Cookies
Snickerdoodles
Simple Apple Squares
Those look really tasty, i love muffins that aren’t super sweet
Hi Stephanie,
They have just the right amount of sweet. Great with tea and coffee.
These were amazing…found the recipe on stumbleupon…wow delicious
Thank you, Caroline!
I found this recipe on stumble upon. These look so good, my mouth is already watering! Can’t wait to make these!!
Hi Melissa! I can’t wait for you to make them, too. ;D
I stumbled upon this… in the oven now! thanks!
Hi Brian!
You’re welcome. How do you like them?
Stumbled upon this, I’ll be replacing the egg with 2 tbsp water mixed with 1 tbsp of oil and 2 tspn of baking powder. Usually I use applesauce to replace egg but don’t want them to be too heavy. Nice site!
Thank you, Laura.
Is that a standard ratio for substituting egg; 2 Tbsp. water/1 Tbsp. oil/2 tsp. baking powder?
I’ve not had the need to substitute eggs in baking, so I’m really picking up some good tips from this post.
Just made these! Made more than expected, but maybe that’s a good thing as they are going down a treat
Thank you, Hannah! Have fun eating them!
I just stumbled upon this page and boy do these look great. I can’t wait for the weekend so I can try these on for size. Thank you..!!
It looks really tasty! Thanks for sharing…
Hi. I came across this recipe on Stumble Upon.. I love it..
Hello!
Hi barnyard!
Another Stumbler here…and the muffin recipe looks well worth trying. They remind me of the old fashioned Snickerdoodle cookies! Mmmmmm
Hi Bonnie!
We love snickerdoodle cookies, too. One of the great things about muffins is that they don’t take long to bake up.
One time, when I was babysitting two sisters for a day, it poured rain and our park adventure plans were cancelled. Instead, I took out regular Quaker’s Muffin Mix and made it, adding cinammon, vanilla and brown sugar. We ate them and watched movies and played cards all afternoon. It was perfect.
These look like those times a million, and I think stumbling on this recipe was the best thing that has ever happened to me in terms of nostalgia.
I think I’ll make them tonight.
What a great memory! Thank you for sharing.
hey! found on stumble
im from brazil and im gonna make them right now
to take them to school tomorrow, hope everyone will enjoy
thanks a lot, byee
Hi Ana! They are gonna love you!
I found you on StumbleUpon!
I have a recipe for banana muffins with a cinnamon sugar topping that I love, but I never have ripe bananas on hand to make them. This recipe is perfect…I have everything in the kitchen, and I may make them tonight! Thank you!
Hi Melissa!
Oooh, I have a banana muffin recipe, too. I need to try it with the cinnamon sugar topping. Like you, ripe bananas don’t stick around long enough in my kitchen. But, I’m still going to try it.
Hello, because you asked me too.
Hello Xanamiar! Thank you.
Hey! Just Stumbled on this recipe, & they look really amazing! I think I’ll stick with the butter though, instead of the applesauce. I’m going on a family trip this week, & I think I’ll surprise them by making these one morning. Thanks!
They will love you for it, Amanda. Have fun!
Hey there, just stumbled this recipe on my boyfriend’s computer. I always joke with him about cooking or baking something for me because I always do both so I’m excited to share this recipe with him. (hopefully it won’t go as badly as the time he tried to make me cookies!)
Thanks for sharing!
LoL! Cayla, with your help, he can’t go wrong. These are so easy. Just be mindful not to over stir the batter. Just stir until batter is moist. There should be lumps in good muffin batter.
Hello, I stumbleupon’d this. like the butter/oil/ apple sauce option. depending on how good i want to be i can always switch it up.
Hi Nubbette! I hear ya. I don’t always have applesauce on hand (my kids eat it up too fast). Butter is my favorite.
Hello! Stumbled and bookmarked this recipe! Made it with 1/2 sugar, 1/2 splenda, and applesauce instead of butter in the batter, used all real sugar for the topping but I subbed a few squirts of “I can’t believe it’s not butter” spray. Really delicious and the way I made it only 146 calories for a muffin
perfect to-go breakfast! Thanks!
Hi HollyMolly!
How did you figure out the calories? Do you have a program you use?
Thank YOU, for sharing your style of cooking.
Dear Stumble, you rock.
Oh and so do you Jill…
Also I wish I hadn’t used the last of my eggs on dinner, because then these would definitely be in the oven right now.
Hi Jon,
I completely agree, Stumble ROCKS!
Did you read in the comments how folks substitute the egg?
– 1/4 cup apple sauce and 1 tsp. baking powder
– 2 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. baking powder
– 1/2 mashed banana, 1 tsp. baking powder
I stumbledupon you! The recipe looks awesome-I’m totally veganizing it and going for it! Thanks
Vegan out, Aimee! Then come back and tell us how you did it. I’m very interested.
Hey Jill,
It’s been ages but I made these tonight and they were great! I replaced the egg with a flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flax seed + 3 Tbsp H2O) and used melted Earth Balance. I also added a tsp of vanilla to the wet ingredients. I think next time I’ll try using applesauce and perhaps some baking soda. Either way- thank you for the recipe!
Aim
stumbled on this!
made them, ate them, loved them.
these are amazing!
Alright Sarah! Thank you, you rock!
Hello! I stumbled your lovely recipe and just finished making them. I added a banana and they turned out wonderfully! Thanks!
No, no, no, thank you, Tasha!
All this talk using bananas has me wanting to get back in the kitchen to make another batch.
What a stumble. Made them about fifteen minutes after I came upon this, didn’t have any white sugar after baking, so I used sugar in the raw… Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks.
Thank you, Chance! I like sugar in the raw, too, especially in my coffee.
It looks delicious! I can’t wait to try this out with my girlfriend at some point. She absolutely loves (eating and making) cupcakes and I’m sure both she and I will love it. Thanks for the great stumble!
I found these while stumbling the other night! They look so good! Im making them to take camping this weekend! I cant wait to try them
Thanks for the yummy recipes!
I stumbled across this recipe yesterday. I do not usually cook or bake, but when I saw this, I thought, this looks easy, I’ll try it. I baked them this morning and they are AWESOME. You’ve opened me to the world of baking. (Really!) If I can make this I can make something else too! I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes. Thank you so much!
Hi Sarah!
You just made my heart swell up! I love making muffins and there’s plenty of muffin recipes here on SDR. You go and have yourself a ball! And be sure to always let me know how you enjoyed them. If you ever hit a snag, holler for me. I’m always near my laptop and iPhone.
Nice, thank you Jill!
Stumbled upon these this morning and they look delicious! I’m going to a Knit-in-Public event with my sister tomorrow morning, so I might have to make a few batches of these muffins to take with me!
They are going to love you, Amanda. Be sure to tell’em where you found the recipe!
Stumbled upon this lovely sounding recipe and will be making it tomorrow, i think. A nice sweet beginning to Father’s Day.
It looks like it will be easy to convert to gluten free so we’ll make those too so the whole family can enjoy!
Hi Serena!
Be sure to come back and let know how your family enjoyed them. AND let us know what you did to make them gluten free.
THanks!
Ohh these were tasty and easy! I halved the recipe to fit my 24 mini muffin pan cause I remembered I don’t have are regular muffin pan anymore. My old one was donated to a crafts cause….
For GF I left everything the same but the flour where I used a mixture of rice flour, tapioca starch and oat flour plus a teaspoon of xanthan gum. I get oat flour by grinding GF oats in a whirly bird coffee grinder.
Ty for the recipe – it has been added to The Book. It’s just a hardback journal with handwritten recipes for stuff we use all the time that lives in the cupboard by the stove, but it is my favorite cookbook!
Hi again Serena!
Thank you for getting back with me/us, and sharing your gluten free version. Would you mind sharing the exact ratio of dry ingredients so another person could try your version?
I love that you have “The Book”, too. I keep two sturdy binders above my stove, one for desserts, the other for family favorites and “someday I want make this-recipes” It sure helps to use a home binder/journal for those go-to recipes that you know your family loves.
Thank you for including this recipe in your family cookbook.
(BIG HUG)
I should have specified that! Since I needed 1 cup flour for my halved recipe, I used 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, all kinda eyeballed to fill my 1 cup measure. I used these cause I had them on hand. Really, for muffins any GF mix will work, muffins and other quickbreads are awesome like that.
Thank you for contributing to SDR, Serena!
It’s always fun to learn what others do in the kitchen.
These look divine! I will be making them ASAP.
Hi Rachel!
Let me know how they turn out!
Hey, great recipe. I stumbled on this last week and just whipped up a batch, they are delicous. I added some grape jelly in the middle of a few!
Thank you, Gina!
Mmm, jelly filled, nice idea!
Hi! I Stumbled Upon this and am going to make them tomorrow, if I get time. I’m on a kind of make-everything-I-come-across phase, so these can be added to the tomorrow list!
I can’t wait to make these this weekend.They look really easy and my family will love them. Thanks!!!
Hello from a Stumbler!
These look absolutely amazing, I am so going to try this! I wondered, if they are a succes (which they undoubtly are) I would love to post them on my danish website (credits to you, of course), if it is allright by you?
many thanks from a danish bake (and cake) freak!
Stumbled upon
always looking for easy HEALTHY things to do in the kitchen!!!
I just stumbled upon this recipe and it looks great! I’m totally making these tonight
I live in a student apartment with no AC, and it’s been really hot lately, so I’ve been trying to avoid baking because it heats up my tiny apartment. I broke my rule for these though! They were worth the extra heat from the oven!
Bless your heart, Lru!
Living without AC during the day is one thing. However, when it comes to cooking & bedtime, I need to be cool.
I haven’t tried it, yet, but I’ve been told muffins freeze well. If I were in your situation, I would double the recipe and put up the extra in the freezer. I’m thinking, while the oven was already on, why not run it another 20 minutes for a second batch of muffins that can be enjoyed later.
I made these for Fathers day for my dad, and they were gone! They were so good with coffee and tea, they weren’t overly sweet at all, and raspberry jam … wow. Thank you.
Oh Yea, Sladie! I love it! Mmm, raspberry jam, too. THANK YOU for coming back to share your experience with us.
HAVE FUN!
I stumbled here myself. Definitely making these this weekend. It’s the kind of recipe where you’re almost guaranteed to have everything in the kitchen already.
I love these kinds of recipes!
I know just what you mean, Vicki! Holler back and let me know how this recipe worked out for you. Have a great weekend!
Hi. StumbledUpon this page. In fact I followed the link I found in fellow stumbler princesnoopy’s folder.

Hi Jill,
I’m a bride-to-be and I am just starting out in the culinary world. I have been using StumbleUpon to gather great recipes to amuse my fiancé and others. I just stumbled upon this recipe and I can’t wait to try them out! I will be sure to check out your other recipes as well. Thank you!
Hi Anna!
Congratulations on your engagement! Be sure at let me know how this recipe worked out for you.
I just stumbled here and now I’m heading to the kitchen, these sound divine!!
Hey. i loved it!!! i just tried then out a few minutes ago so i could wirte a post about it in my new blog. It was easy and fast, and the result was tasty treats that my mom couldn’t stop eating (even when i was still putting the sugar and cinnamon mix ¬¬)
If you want me to translate my post, just say so
Hi Mexerg!
I’m so glad these worked out for you. And THANK YOU for the link love! These muffins are my daughter’s favorite. I’ve come to double this recipe now so we can enjoy them for several days.
I’m thinking of adding wheat germ to the next batch, not a lot, maybe 1/3 cup. Just to see how it goes over with the family.
HELLO! i’m a stumber!
i’ve made a version of these… they seemed dry?
would you recommend mini muffin tins for this?? if so, how would you adjust you baking time?
thanks!!
Hi Q,
When I use my mini-muffin pan, it takes about 10 minutes to bake little cupcakes and muffins. Over baking usually causes dryness in baked goods. And oven temperatures do not always match the dial we set them to, especially in older ovens.
I’m so glad I found this basic recipe! I’m vegan so I substituted, but I’m also very health conscious so I went further than the average vegan, so heres what I did:
Wet:
Rice milk in place of milk
Applesauce, but I frequently use coconut oil
A substitute egg made from ground flaxseed; applesauce, banana, cornstarch can also be used
Dry:
2 C of WWpastry
2/3 C evaporated palm sugar; this sugar is made from the palm of the coconut; I prefer this over every other sugar except date sugar, date sugar is just more expensive
Aluminum and baking soda free baking powder; Ener-G brand
Himalayan salt
Topping:
I used earth balance butter: Its a vegan brand, but I still prefer coconut oil
Palm sugar again with cinnamon
And it turned out excellent! With or without the sugar-cinnamon topping… thanks for sharing because I’m not a baker, and being healthy/vegan its hard to pull most recipes off without being so heavy
GO NATALIE, GO! I love it! THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing your vegan twist on this recipe. You must have one interesting pantry, I would love to see a picture of it.
Are you in a good area where it’s easy for you to buy the ingredients you need, plus some?
Yes, I’m in a good area, I have natural food stores around here in WA! But if I didnt, I would buy online
Yah, my pantry is way different than most 
tried these yesterday. wow, i’m lucky i hid a couple or i wouldn’t have got one. must make these again very soon, maybe when the family has gone out.
thought i might try to put some small chunks of apple in the mix – what do you think ?
Hi Martyn,
Small chunks of apple would work very well in this recipe. Go for it!
a definite success with apple, but i still struggle to get one for myself !
I Stumbled Upon this a while back, and I almost forgot about it. If I have time, I might just make these tonight for tomorrow morning. =]
I stumbled on this recipe a while back and finally got around to making them last night. These are so delicious! I’m enjoying one right now with a cup of coffee. These are sure to be a repeat in my kitchen. I’m considering mixing in cranberries or pumpkin next time to mix it up. Thanks so much!
I did StumbleUpon you. I love everything Cinnamon, and I think these will be awesome in my muffin top pan. They will ptobably cook even faster, but the best is that there will be all top, and not mych bottom !!!!! JUST the way I likem !!!
Stumbled. (: These look delicious. I use the same sort of cinnamon-sugar-awesomeness topping with Snickerdoodle muffins. I love how simple this recipe is! No overcomplications or unneccessary things. Pure, wonderful, muffiny goodness. Thanks! <3
Seeing those muffins just made my heart leap in my chest. You know that feeling when you’re craving something but you just don’t know what. Well this is what I’ve been craving. Thank goodness for stumbleupon! I can’t wait to make these!!!
Stumbled here. Definitely making these tomorrow. Yummy.
I stumbled on this site and signed up for the email
I am always trying to find something easy and simple for me to make. Being a single 23 year old its often hard to find simple meals for one.
I wish I would have stumbled upon this before Thanksgiving!! I’m definitely going to make them for our Christmas breakfast! They sound wonderful..Thanks so much!!!!
Hello! I Stumbled Upon this
Looks delish!
Another Stumbler. These look yummy – will add it to my long list of recipes to try!
hi and thanks
hi and thanks for the recipe
Hello!
I stumbled upon your recipe and it looks delightful! I’ll definitely be making these sometime soon!
Thanks!
Hello. Stumbled upon this.
I have always liked making muffins and have tried something similar to this before. They never turned out quite right and so I am hoping that this is the winning recipe.
Thanks.
Just stumbled your way… and yes I too love muffins
Hi! Just stumbled your way as well! I am making your muffins today! I hope my boys will love thiem… I know I will!
Thank you for posting this recipe!
My family loves these cinnamon and sugar muffins recipe. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do, Shannon. Be sure to come back and let me know.
Hi Jill just found your recipe on Stumble!…they look delish! I am making them now for work and school lunches tomorrow!…My family thanks you!…lol
YEAAH! You’re welcome, rjd1967! Let me know how this muffin recipe works out for your family.
hi! i really like these muffins, they baked up beautifully! they are a bit biscuit like though, in flavor and texture. i think the batter could benefit from a splash of vanilla extract or some cinnamon.
Found a winner !! I just added some fresh cherries because they’re in season here in Albania and they were just divine. We loved that they’re not too sweet so adding cherries didn’t put them over the top. Thanks so much again, Jill !
hey, is there a way that i can substitute the egg with something? For example, milk or anything in that nature. I don’t want to use anything like starch or something “weird” like that. Thanks!!!
Maddie
Oh yea, Maddie, you can use mashed banana or applesauce, about 1/4 cup of either one will equate to one egg. The egg in this recipe works to provide moisture and to bind the ingredients together. This substitute is good for muffins, fruit breads and pancakes. I would NOT use this substitute for cakes or cookies.
Hi,
This looks amazing. I love cinnamon sugar muffins! I think I’m going to make them tonight for my coworkers and surprise them.
simplysweetboston.blogspot.com
Just stumbled upon this and made them right away! Absolutely delicious!!! Thank you!
I made these this morning and they were so good and super easy! I added a bit of cinnamon to the batter as well.
I popped the leftovers in the freezer and they tasted just as good when I put them in the microwave for 20 seconds.
I’m starting high school soon so these will be great for an easy make-ahead breakfast!
Thanks so much!
Just stumbled upon here and shall be stumbling to the kitchen right about now to whip this up!! Thanks : )
I’m just stumbling about, and shall give these are try tomorrow, Cheers!
thanks for these delicious muffins. my kids love them. and me too
I’m so glad your family loved these muffins, Alexandra! It’s always fun to discover a new family favorite recipe.
I presume you mean in a 350 degree oven?
No, no, Gill. Right under the list of ingredients, I wrote “Heat the oven to 400º F.”
I thought that these would turn out to be dense, but they’re pretty delicious. I added some apple for a little something extra.
Delicious! Easy to make and easy to eat
Thank you!!
