If you love light, fluffy, cinnamony muffins these are absolutely perfect! They would be great with some cinnamon chips and / or white chocolate chips mixed in if you want a little extra texture and pops of flavor. 

They are infused with sweet cinnamon flavor in each bite. And ohhh the last of these muffins made for a delicious muffin based breakfast casserole a couple days later!

Easy Snickerdoodle Muffins

Ingredients

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups sour cream

2 TBS cinnamon 

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

3/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt the butter in a medium bowl, and whisk in the sugar, vanilla, eggs.
3. In another bowl combine dry ingredients: cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, nutmeg, and all purpose flour. Whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the wet ingredients in and whisk gently to combine, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Line a 12-well muffin tin with paper liners, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
5. Divide batter among the liners (it will be fairly thick).
6. Bake 20-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
7. Allow to rest a few minutes in the pan before removing from baking tray and allowing to cool on a cooling rack until cool. 
8. If you want to add additional snickerdoodle effect, gently dip the tops of the muffins in melted butter and then dip in cinnamon sugar (1 tsp cinnamon per TBS of sugar, well blended).
