Cinnamon Chip Muffins
Cinnamon chip muffins make the perfect breakfast or snack any day of the week. Sweetened with cinnamon chips, sugar, and a cinnamon-sugar top, these muffins are perfect!
I am back on the sweets train and I have a few not-so-healthy sweet treat desserts coming at you! Balance y’all, you gotta live a little. Just because you make a dozen of your favorite muffin doesn’t mean you eat them all.
By the time, I give some muffins to a friend and my husband eats a few I only usually have 2-3 myself. Especially when they are that good and don’t last long.
Cinnamon chip recipes are usually scones, but I wanted to make something simple using cinnamon chips. Also, my mom had to send me the cinnamon chips because for some reason here in Northern Alberta there is none.
These cinnamon chip muffins are super easy to make, they taste great and they make a great breakfast with a hot coffee, tea, or cold glass of milk. The cinnamon-sugar top totally gives these muffins an extra kick.

Delicious recipe! Thank you for sharing. I baked them in my Ninja 10n1 AirFryer Oven.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂 I will have to try them in my Air Fryer!!
I wanted to love this recipe. Maybe would be good with some tweaks? You don’t mention to soften the butter or that the milk should be room temp. The butter stays in little chunks no matter how much you mix it because it is too cold. That’s great for scones, but not for muffins. Maybe cream together the butter and sugar first, then add room temp milk and egg. The cinnamon chips sink to the bottom of the muffin tin and are not mixed throughout the muffin. The chips don’t come out of the tin, but stay stuck on the bottom and you get a bottomless, cinnamon chipless muffin. Maybe mix the chips with a Tbsp. of flour before adding? The flavor was good, but instructions need a makeover.
I am going to take a look at this as I type this. Thank you for the feedback. I am not sure why the chip went to the bottom. I have tried this recipe at least a dozen times and that has not happened. But, you certainly made me aware to perhaps add flour to the chips beforehand. 🙂 thank you!
