Cinnamon Muffins

Autumn is here.... while the cold mornings and evenings are now upon us do you have that need to reach for the comfort food yet? If this is a yes then these cinnamon muffins are a must for you then.

We woke early Sunday morning and began baking to enjoy these cinnamon muffins for breakfast with our cereal (for the boys) and a vat of coffee (for me).

The recipe is very simple to follow and just the smell of these as you are whisking the ingredients together and they are baking in the oven, makes your heart sing and reminds you that Christmas is just around the corner.

Have a go at making and let us know what you think.

Enjoy!.
