Notes

  • Swirl the cinnamon mixture gently to create beautiful marbled patterns without overmixing the batter.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for the most even and tender muffin texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain their soft, fresh quality.
