Add-ins for Low Sugar Cinnamon Muffins
There are add-ins for these muffins to make them different every time you make them.
- Raisins add flavour and texture to this recipe.
- Diced Apples added to these muffins make them taste a little like apple pie.
- Walnuts, when chopped, add crunch along with a little bitterness.
- Mini Chocolate Chips add sweetness without overdoing it. Dark chocolate is one of our favourites.
- Orange Zest adds a whole new flavour to these muffins. One to two oranges zested into this recipe enhances the cinnamon flavour. We also omit the vanilla extract when adding zest.
- For some occasions, we add more than one add-in. Orange zest and raisins, for example, make a new flavour that is perfect for Christmas morning. And walnuts go well with the diced apples.
