CINNAMON SWIRL MUFFINS
My mum bought me a cookery book called 'Muffins Galore' (by Catherine Atkinson), and this is the first recipe I have tried and was very impressed!! This makes 10 of the regular sized muffins (my tin has 7cm diameter holes). You could put water in the spare two holes to save your pan buckling!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 190deg C/375 deg F/ Gas Mark 5. Grease 10 cups of a 12 cup muffin tin or line 10 cups with paper muffin cases. For the cinnamon sugar, mix together the cinnamon and the light brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the Muffins, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the egg, milk and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and mix briefly until just combined (I used a spatula, and made sure it was still lumpy).
- Put a tablespoon of the batter into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle each muffin with a heaped teaspoon of cinnamon sugar, then spoon some more batter and cinnamon sugar into the muffin cup. Finish with a layer of batter, dividing it evenly. Using a fine skewer or the tip of a sharp knife, swirl the mixture in each muffin cup to achieve the marbled effect.
- Bake in the oven for 18-20 mins, or until risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes (the sugar mixture will remain really hot, so don't be tempted to try them sooner), then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold. These can be frozen too!
CINNAMON SWIRL MINI MUFFINS

Tips for Making Perfect Cinnamon Swirl Muffins:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for cinnamon swirl muffins. Too much or too little of an ingredient can throw off the balance of the recipe.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your muffins light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients. Over-mixing the batter can make your muffins tough.
- Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 full.
- Swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter. Use a toothpick or skewer to create a swirl pattern.
- Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
