CINNAMON SUGAR MUFFINS
These muffins taste like or are a cross between Tim Hortons Old Fashioned Glazed and Cinnamon Spice Timbits. SO YUMMY ...and so Canadian eh?! :) These muffins taste better once they have cooled or even the next day as the flavours have had a chance to meld together. They also freeze well too.

Lightly grease 12 muffin cups. Fill cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in 350 f oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are golden.

These muffins have an excellent taste and texture. They are wonderfully moist and soft inside. They are perfect for breakfast: a couple of them keeps me going the whole morning. They can be frozen and come out of the freezer just as fresh as from the oven. I found this recipe in Internet several months ago and I made little changes on it until I got the perfect muffins for me. I hope you will enjoy them as well! In the preparation time I don't include the time while the oats and the sour milk are standing in the bowl (1 hour).

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease or line your mini muffin pans..
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Melt the butter (I nuke it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds on medium heat).
- In a separate medium bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture, and mix just until incorporated; do not overmix.
- Scoop the batter by tablespoonful into the mini muffin cups (or, if you're making normal-size muffins, divide the batter between 12 cups).
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a bit of the cinnamon mix, dividing the topping evenly among the muffins.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until muffin tops spring back when you lightly poke the top (or stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean). If you're making standard-size muffins, increase the baking time to about 12 - 15 minutes.
- Let cool for five minutes and serve.

Steps:
- Mix cinnamon and sugar.
- Spread butter on the cut side of the 4 halves of the toasted muffins.
- Place bananas on the buttered muffins top with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar to your taste.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh ingredients, especially spices like cinnamon and sugar, will give your muffins the best flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in light and fluffy muffins.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent the muffins from breaking.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon sugar muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture and sweet cinnamon sugar topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
