  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for an extra touch.

Notes

For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
