Snickerdoodle Muffins
Snickerdoodle Muffins are delightfully soft and filled with a cinnamon-sugar swirl. They’re not heavy or overly sweet either. I think they’re perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful snack, and if you’re not a fan of cinnamon, feel free to omit it.
It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light and fluffy muffin that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a tender muffin and pair it with a cinnamon-sugar topping, you get the perfect treat. The addition of cinnamon just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for a comforting treat, and these dreamy muffins remind me of cozy mornings. Not a fan of cinnamon? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without it.
