Snickerdoodle Muffins Recipe

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5: Mix Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until everything is combined.

Don’t overmix, or the muffins may become tough.

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Each cup should be about 3/4 full.

Step 7: Add Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Brush the tops of each muffin with a bit of melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 8: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk!

🍽️ Tips for Perfect Snickerdoodle Muffins

Don’t skip the cream of tartar — it’s what gives snickerdoodles their signature tangy bite.
If you want a gooey center, you can slightly underbake them by 1 minute.
Add a dash of nutmeg to the batter for an extra layer of warmth and spice.
These muffins freeze well! Just wrap tightly and store for up to 2 months.

💡 Variations

Stuffed Muffins: Add a dollop of cinnamon cream cheese in the center before baking.
Glazed Version: Drizzle a simple vanilla glaze over cooled muffins for extra sweetness.
Mini Muffins: Make mini versions for parties or kids’ snacks; reduce baking time to 10–12 minutes.
