Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. This is especially true for the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating: This will help the muffins come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20 minutes.
