    This recipe has not been tested with other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, please let us know how it turned out in the comments below!

    Equipment

    These easy cinnamon muffins only require a few simple tools to make.

    • Mixing bowls
    • Large ice cream scoop or spoon
    • Jumbo muffin tin with liners

    Step by Step Instructions

    Whisking flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl.

    Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

    Whisking eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.

    Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

    Folding mini chocolate chips into cinnamon muffin batter.

    Step 3: Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a few streaks of flour remain, then add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.

    A jumbo muffin tin filled with cinnamon chocolate chip muffin batter sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and mini chocolate chips.

    Step 4: Using a large ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill 8 jumbo muffin liners ⅔ - ¾ of the way full with muffin batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cinnamon sugar and mini chocolate chips.

    Bake in a 425°F oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the tops of the muffins are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Expert Tips

    Tip #1 - Try not to over mix your batter to avoid tough or gummy muffins. Slowly folding the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stopping as soon as all of the flour is mixed in will result in light, fluffy muffins.

    Tip #2 - Mix your cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on top of your muffins before making your batter. Combine ¼ cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Store the leftover mixture in an airtight container to use on your next batch of muffins or on cinnamon toast!

    FAQ

    Why does this recipe call for oil instead of butter?

    The oil in these muffins helps ensure the muffins turn out moist and fluffy.

    Why do I reduce the oven temperature after 5 minutes?

    Starting the oven at a higher heat encourages the batter to rise and begin to brown on top. Reducing the oven to a lower temperature then allows the muffins to bake all the way through.

    Can I substitute the buttermilk with something else?

    Using real buttermilk will give you the best fluffy muffins, so I don't recommend substituting it. However, if you need to use a DIY version you can do so.

    Chocolate chip muffin tops sprinkled in cinnamon sugar.

    Storage

    Room Temperature: Store in a Ziploc bag on the counter for up to 5 days.

    Refrigerator: I don't recommend storing them in the refrigerator as this usually dries them out.

    Freezer: These cinnamon sugar muffins with chocolate chips can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    • Jumbo Muffin Pan
    • Mixing bowls
    • Whisk
    • Spatula
    • Scale/measuring cups
    • Measuring spoons
    • Wire cooling rack

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour weighed in grams (see metric tab) or spooned & leveled
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar plus more for topping
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon plus more for topping
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
    • ½ cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 425°F and fill 8 jumbo muffin wells with liners.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
    • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until a few flour streaks remain. Then, fold in the mini chocolate chips.

    Notes

    Measuring Flour: For best results, weigh the flour in grams using a scale (see metric tab in recipe card above). If you're using measuring cups, use the spoon and level method.
    Buttermilk: Use real buttermilk! I do not recommend substituting or using a DIY buttermilk in this recipe.
    Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Mix together about ¼ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping.
    Cinnamon: These can be made without the cinnamon in the batter or the cinnamon sugar on top for plain chocolate chip muffins.
    Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
    Make Ahead: The batter can be covered and stored in the refrigerator overnight and baked the next day.
    Regular Muffins: Distribute the batter between 12-16 regular muffin liners and bake at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.
    Mini Muffins: Bake 24-30 mini muffins at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
    Nutrition: The provided nutrition information is an estimate, the calorie accuracy is not guaranteed.

      I like the simplicity of this recipe. While I did substitute the buttermilk with powdered buttermilk (just went out and got buttermilk for my second batch), I had all of the other ingredients on hand. My husband thought I bought them from the bakery. I used cinnamon chips rather than chocolate chips. Today I will be making both!

        Hi Sandy! Thank you for your feedback - I've never tried them with powdered buttermilk or cinnamon chips and I'm happy to hear they were delicious! I'll have to get my hands on some cinnamon chips to try them with. Sounds so good!
