    snickerdoodle muffins little bites

    Do I dare ask?  Umm...OK...I'm asking...Who doesn't like Snickerdoodles? Can I get a count of hands please?  It's pretty unanimous around this neck of the woods, that Snickerdoodles are very well loved!

    Snickerdoodles are referred to as "sugar cookies", except they are rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.  So, for a twist, we just transformed snickerdoodle flavors into yummy Snickerdoodle muffins!

    These donut muffins are deliciously packed with cinnamon and sugar delightfulness. The taste of these reminds me of elephant ears you get at the fair.

    The tops are dipped in melted butter, so that lets that cinnamon and sugar stick happily to those donut muffins!  Can you imagine tasting them?

    Snickerdoodle Mini Muffin Donuts are Simple to Make!

    You can have them poppin' into your mouth within minutes.  You might want to make a double batch, they go quick!

    Ingredients You Need

    Snickerdoodle Mini Muffins

    • all-purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • cinnamon
    • nutmeg
    • buttermilk
    • butter 
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • vanilla extract
    • egg

    Cinnamon Sugar Topping

    • butter 
    • granulated sugar
    • cinnamon

    How to Make Super Easy Snickerdoodle Muffins

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
    2. Using mixer, cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla extract until light and fluffy for 2 minutes.
    3. Add in the egg and mix until combined.
    4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
    5. Slowly alternate, back and forth adding the flour mixture & the buttermilk into the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix for nice soft, tender, fluffy muffins.
    6. Using a small scoop, scoop up the batter and place into each tin. The small ice cream scoop works wonderful for this and measures out evenly every time. Tins should be filled ¾ of the way.
    7. Transfer muffins to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until done.
    8. Remove them from the oven, and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
    9. While cooling, melt the butter for the cinnamon-sugar topping.
    10. Dip the tops of each muffin in the butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    11. Serve warm or room temperature.

    Storing Mini Muffins

    Store leftovers in a sealed container.  Microwave them when you want a warm, cinnamon treat! They will last 2-3 days. They taste best the day you make them.

    Freezing 

    Allow muffins to cool completely, then freeze for up to 3 months in a well sealed container.  Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds, until warm.

    These are welcome any season and the kids will go absolutely nuts over them:)   These might be your new weekend snack attack! 🙂  Hope you and yours enjoy.  Here's the recipe!

    Are you a cinnamon lover?  If so, I think you might crush on these!

      Super yummy! Substituted coconut oil for butter in muffins and about 1/4c coconut flour (I'm gluten free so the flour was gf) I ❤️ Cinnamon so upped the cinnamon to 1 t in muffins. Thanks for this recipe! Perfect if you're craving cinnamon rolls but don't have time/patience to make some.
