I am always thinking of different kinds of muffins to make. Lately, I have been tossing around the idea of making a muffin that tasted like a snickerdoodle cookie, given how much of a cinnamon gal that I am. Earlier in the week, Lauren made some snickerdoodle cookies that are EXTREMELY popular with Dominic. I had to actually hide the bag of cookies from him, because he was sneaking into the kitchen and grabbing them when I wasn't looking!!! This is all that's left of the cookies that she made :)
Don't the muffins and the cookies sort of look the same?? They definitely taste similar! The muffins smelled amazing when they were baking - they truly make your house smell so good. Lauren loves, loves, loves my muffins. Hmm, do you think the kids have inherited my love of cinnamon?!?!?!?!?!
Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
Topping:
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place paper liners into a 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside. In large bowl, put all the ingredients in the order given and mix well with large spoon. Distribute batter evenly between paper liners. In small bowl, mix the white sugar and cinnamon together with a small spoon and then sprinkle evenly over all 12 muffins. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean. Remove from oven, let cool five minutes and then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
