Cinnamon Muffin



Made these for breakfast on Sunday. Delicious. Very sweet. There was more than enough batter, filling, and topping for a dozen muffins.

Adapted from here

Topping:
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C oats
1/2 C flour
3 Tbs butter, very soft

Filling:
2 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbs butter, melted
1/2 C brown sugar

Batter:
1/2 C butter, melted
3/4 C milk
2 eggs
1 3/4 C flour
1/2 C oats
2 Tbs cornstarch
3/4 C sugar
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
In a small bowl combine the topping ingredients. In a separate bowl combine the filling ingredients. For the batter, mix the butter, milk, and eggs well. In a large bowl mix together the remaining batter ingredients. Add the liquid part all at once and mix until moist. Fill your greased muffin tins as follows:
Put in half of the batter, then dollop a bit of the filling in each cup. Top with remaining batter. Put on streusel topping and lightly press. Do not over-fill the muffin tins.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

*Note: the original recipe called for 1/2 C cinnamon chips instead of the 1 tsp cinnamon in the batter. I would like to try this sometime
**Warning, the muffins were a bit on the crumbly side where the filling went. Be careful when removing from tin.

  1. I saw these on your Pintrest page and they looked yummy. Glad they turned out well. I"ll have to try them sometime. It seems they might help my cinnamon fix without having to make cinnamon rolls.

  2. Yes, these were great. They are like a cinnamon roll in a muffin. The pinterest recipe also had a glaze but these were so sweet already I didn't add it (and didn't miss it!). The original recipe also called for 1 1/2 TBS of cinnamon in the filling but I mistakenly read it as 1 1/2 tsp. Since they tasted so good I left it at 2 tsp in this online version.
