Cinnamon Muffins

 
 I have seen this recipe on a couple blogs this week,  For the Love of Cooking and Eat Yourself Skinny.  My son would live on muffins if he could, add cinnamon, and you have a hit!  These looked so good, I just had to make them.  Who doesn't like a muffin that is coated in cinnamon and sugar?  They were really quick and easy to make too!  Of course the leftovers are in the freezer waiting for the next school morning when muffins are requested.

Printable Recipe

3/4 cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbls sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the egg and sugar together until it is creamy.  

Stir together the flour, baking powder, 1 tsp. cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.  Pour dry ingredients into the egg mixture and stir to combine.  Add vegetable oil, milk and vanilla, stirring until just combined.  Do not over mix or your muffins will come out tough.  

Divide the batter into a prepared muffin tin.  You will want to spray with non-stick spray instead of using liners for this recipe.  Bake for about 15 minutes.  

 Mix the last 3 Tbls of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon together in a bowl.  After the muffins come out and have cooled enough so you can handle them, roll them around in the sugar to coat all sides.
