Tips for Cinnamon Muffins

Muffins are pretty easy to make, but if you want perfect muffins every time here are some tips you should follow!

• Don’t overmix the batter: overmixing the dough will lead to dry tough muffins
• Follow the temperature directions closely: The key to a crunchy top and a taller muffin is the higher temperature for the first few minutes of baking!
• Sour cream vs. greek yogurt: If you want your muffins moist and taller go with the greek yogurt. If you don’t have greek yogurt, you can use sour cream. It will result in a denser muffin.

How to Make the Cinnamon Swirl

The buttery cinnamon swirl is really what takes these muffins to the next level! To get a good swirl, place the cinnamon, butter, and sugar mixture in a bag and poke the muffin in a few places! You can also make a nice swirl on the top of your muffin.
