Snickerdoodle Muffins

Snickerdoodle Muffins are delightfully soft and filled with a cinnamon-sugar swirl. They’re not heavy or overly sweet either.

  • Muffin liners
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Assemble and Bake:
  • Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the muffin batter.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the tops of the muffin batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Serve:
