This recipe for Cinnamon Muffins reminds me of those cake recipes that are called “death by chocolate” except this is a “death by cinnamon” muffin version. This muffin is not only filled with cinnamon chips, it also has a dollop of gooey cinnamon filling right in the center.
Recipe adapted from King Arthur Flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Filling
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Batter
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup cinnamon chips or butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly.
Prepare the topping by mixing brown sugar, oats, flour, and butter together until crumbly. Add pecans to mixture; set aside.
Prepare the filling by mixing butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together; set aside.
To make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add chips to the mixture, then combine the dry ingredients with the liquid mixture, stirring just until combined.
Divide half the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Dollop 2 teaspoons of the filling mixture onto each muffin, then top with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with the topping mixture, pressing in lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, wait 5 minutes before transferring muffins from pan to wire rack to cool.
This recipe uses either Cinnamon or Butterscotch Chips. Cinnamon Chips are not readily available in my area, so I have to buy them when I am shopping out of town. This is the last bag that I have in my stash!
I just saw these on Pinterest, and said I am making those tonight. So I take it they are good? They sound delish andi
Death by cinnamon!! That is my kind of dessert. I'll have to keep my eye out for some cinnamon chips and try these!
If you called them "Cinnamon Challenge Muffins", people might make Youtube videos about them.
These sound amazing…I better try them!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I LOVE anything with cinnamon! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Anita!

I love cinnamon and I had no idea there were cinnamon chips….yes, I live under a rock! Those look delicious and cinnamon is good for you too…not sure about the sugar and butter but you can't eat plain cinnamon right? LOL!
All I can say is wow. Cinnamon is probably my number one favorite when it comes to desserts. Thanks so much for sharing this!
These look like the homemade version of my favorite box mix muffins!
I would love for you to link them up at Mealtime Monday!
