Cinnamon and Sugar Muffins

What better thing to do on a snow day than bake!  Today I tried a new recipe that I found on simplykierste.com and it was a huge hit with the kids.

This recipe is great in that it uses just basic baking ingredients that I always have on hand.  The sour cream makes them super moist!

Ingredients

  • 2 c.flour
  • 1 c. sugar
  • ½ c. butter, melted
  • 1-8 oz. carton sour cream
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • *1/2 c. sugar
  • *2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Grease and flour muffin tins.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. Pour the 1 c. sugar into a large bowl, then add the melted butter.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream, and mix well.
  5. Stir in the flour mixture.
  6. Combine the ½ c. sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon and set aside.
  7. Place a small amount of batter in tin, add desired amount of the cinnamon & sugar mixture (we like a lot ☺, probably a 1 tsp. or so), then add another small amount of the batter on top. Sprinkle lightly with the cinnamon mixture.
  8. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, or until done.
