Low Sugar Cinnamon Muffins

Low Sugar Cinnamon Muffins are not sweet, but they are full of cinnamon flavour. They make a great breakfast or afternoon snack. Pair these muffins with a cup of coffee or tea, our favourite is a chai latte, to make a great pick-me-up in the afternoon.

This recipe was originally posted in 2022, but has been removed and is now exclusively available in our cookbook, The Sweet Stuff, available on Amazon.

Add-ins for 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.

You can get creative with this recipe. There are many add-ins we have thought of adding, but have not gotten around to them yet.
