Home Sweet Home: cinnamon muffins

A really simple and fast breakfast or snack idea is mini-muffins. my family has a recipe for cinnamon muffins that we usually put in a mini muffin container, but recently we bought a muffin maker that makes small individual snoopy character waffles. we found that this waffle maker is also great for muffin batter and brownie batter! so here is my recipe for cinnamon snoopy muffins.

Step one: in a large mixing bowl add dry ingredients. 3/4 cup of Malt-O-Meal, 1 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. this recipe is for a regular muffin, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the batter.

Step two: whisk together the dry ingredients

Step three: make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients for the liquid ingredients
Step four: add in liquid ingredients. 3/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Step 5: whisk together liquide ingredients and then gradually mix in the dry ingredients

Step six: after muffin maker, or in this case waffle maker, is hot and ready pour in muffin mix, keeping in mind that the muffins will rise more than you think. set the timer for 5 minutes to take the muffins out.

Step seven: on another counter set out two bowls. one for melted butter and the other for cinnamon and sugar.

Step eight: when 5 minutes timer goes off use a tooth pick and poke he center of a muffin. if the tooth pick comes out clean they are done. then use a tooth pick and/or fork to take the muffins out and set onto cooling rack
