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.

CINNAMON & SUGAR MINI MUFFINS



Cinnamon & Sugar Mini Muffins image

These simple, delicious mini muffins are diminutive in size but not in taste.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Muffins
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons 3/4 stick unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 7m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 English muffins, toasted
4 -6 teaspoons butter, more if wanted
2 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 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.

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.
