Snickerdoodle Muffins

Just this year, I began stepping through the doors of Panera Bread on a regular basis. Not because I often get to sit with girlfriends over soup and salad; that’s more of an occasional treat.

I’ve mainly been Panera-ing because I’m always on the lookout for awesome deals. The day I got an email stating that I somehow earned enough rewards for a whole month of free coffee was a happy one. 😀

Free, flavorful coffee = Hi. Be right over.

I’m not sure what Panera has to do with these Snickerdoodle Muffins, except that these muffins remind me of bakery style muffs. They’re dense, moist, and yummy.

And a hot cup of coffee in the morning is sublime with these sweet muffins. Hot tea or cold milk…anything goes with these super delish muffins.

These Snickerdoodle Muffins are popular everywhere you take them, and they’re especially beloved with breakfast and brunch spreads.

They’re moist and tender on the inside and studded with cinnamon chips for cinna oomph. Then they’re crowned with a crispy/crackly top that puts other muffin tops to shame.

For more cinnamon sugar goodness try this snickerdoodle quick bread!

And muffin tops so good you could cry a little.

Enjoy.

Notes

These muffins should be denser than typical muffins. They aren't meant to be airy or light. They're moist yet substantial, similar to bakery style muffins.

Gimme some Snickerdoodle love:

1. Chewy Snickerdoodle Bars. Easier than cookies and such a party pleaser.

1. Chewy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles. Or PumpkinDoodles. They’re always one of the first cookies to vanish.

1. Snickerdoodle Ice Cream. Because ice-cream is a year round thing, including the holidays.

1. Soft Chewy Snickerdoodles. Classic, soft, slightly chewy, and totally addictive.
