Cinnie Minnies

These mini cinnamon muffins are the cats meow. Simple and not to sweet they are the perfect snack for those on the go or for the kids lunches.They freeze nicely so wrap in freezer bags and pop extras in the freezer for those days we need ready made snacks. I like to make them mini size as that is what the kids request but you can also make them regular muffin size if that’s what you prefer.

Turn it up a notch and once they’ve come out of the oven and cooled slightly, top them with a powdered sugar glaze and sprinkle with raisins. Or add raisins into the batter for a little surprise in each bite.
