Snickerdoodle Muffins

Snickerdoodle Muffins

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients
1 cup Butter, Softened
1 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2-¼ cups Flour
¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
¾ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
½ teaspoons Salt
1 cup Greek Yogurt (I used Fage Greek Yogurt)
¼ cups Milk
_____
FOR THE TOPPING:
⅔ cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon


Preparation Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a muffin tin with liners. Using cupcake liners is a must due to the fragile nature of these muffins.


In a mixer, combine the butter and sugar and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and combine.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the greek yogurt and milk and mix to combine. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

Use scooper and plop a scoop of batter into the bowl with the sugar and cinnamon. Gently roll the batter in the sugar and cinnamon. Place the ball into the muffin liner.

When you have completed all of the muffins, sprinkle the leftover cinnamon sugar onto the tops of all of the muffins.

Bake the muffins at 350ºF for about 15-18 minutes or until they are golden on top and just baked through.

Enjoy!
