Super Easy Honey Cinnamon Muffins

This recipe was born from a need to simply use up some stuff in my kitchen and I was so pleased with how they turned out, that I had to make them again…and again! Imagine the flavor of a graham cracker in a soft, just-sweet-enough muffin still warm from the oven.

One of the best things about these muffins is how easy they are to whip up! If you’ve got a few minutes, two bowls and a few kitchen staples, you could have a batch of warm, delicious muffins in no time!

Here’s what you need:

Equipment:

• Mixing Bowls
• Whisk
• Muffin Pan
• 2 Ounce Scoop
• Cooking Spray

Start with the dry ingredients.

I use whole wheat flour in addition to all purpose flour for 2 reasons:

1. Give the muffins a nutty, earthy flavor.
2. Balance out the sweetness of the honey.

Whisk the two flours with the baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, then set aside.

Add the wet ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, honey and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Let the melted butter cool slightly, then add it to the batter.

Bake the muffins.

Turn the oven to 350 degrees, then spray a muffin pan with cooking spray. I use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly between the cups. It makes perfectly sized, uniform muffins every time!

Bake the muffins for 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Keep the muffins in the pan to cool for a few minutes before handling.

Smear warm muffins with softened butter or even cream cheese. These muffins are a new favorite breakfast treat at my house! They are great for entertaining or for packing up to share! Muffins are meant for sharing and you will definitely want to share these!
