You’ll add these homemade cinnamon sugar bursts into the snickerdoodle muffin batter.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Muffins

  • Prepare. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper liners, or spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix the muffin batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil. Use a rubber spatula to mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix. 
  • Fold in the cinnamon chips. Then use an ice cream scoop to divide the muffin batter between the 6 liners, filling to ¾ full. 
  • Make the streusel. Whisk together the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix in the room temperature butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the muffins. 
  • Bake. Bake for 25 minutes or until the top of the muffin bounces back when you touch it. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.

These were great! I was cautious at first because the base it pretty basic, but the cinnamon chips (I used Hershey) and streusel add a lot of flavor! They were really easy to make too (always a plus when you have a preschooler helping bake)!

The link to the DIY cinnamon chips didn’t work for me. I found it by going onto your scone page, and then in the comments. Did you use more baking powder to offset no cream of tarter? I’m a huge fan of snickerdoodles and the base with the top so far seems delish but I’m tempted to sneak in some cream of tartar to make them extra snickerdoodle-y. Thanks for the fabulous recipe! We are baking them right now 🙂

Where can I purchase the cinnamon chips? Is there something else that can be used in place of the cinnamon chips if I can not find them?

HELP! The ingredient list calls for baking powder, but the instructions calls for baking soda.

Please clarify, thank you.
