For more delicious recipes with that tasty cinnamon-sugar pairing, check out my posts for Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Sugar Frosting, Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls, Churros, and Cinnamon Roll Ups. This post is in partnership with B&G Foods. All opinions are my own. Is there any better flavor combination than cinnamon and sugar mixed together? I can’t think of many others I like just as much, especially in a baked good! These cinnamon streusel muffins are made with lots of delicious ingredients like Spice Islands Ground Cinnamon, butter, white and brown sugars, vanilla, and Greek yogurt (my not-so-secret-secret for a moist muffin). My only warning is you might want to go ahead and double these because in my experience, the first batch will be gone in a flash!
Why This Recipe Works
From simple, quality ingredients to quick prep and bake times, these cinnamon muffins are perfect to make any day, every day. Quality ingredients — Baking powder and baking soda are key ingredients in this muffin recipe. They help the muffins to rise and also help to make them soft and tender. I always keep fresh containers of Clabber Girl Baking Powder and Clabber Girl Baking Soda in my pantry because I know they’ll help me achieve the best results from my baked goods. Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™— Since I’ve gone on about the cinnamon-sugar flavor combo, it will come as no surprise to you then that Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ would be one of my favorite cereals right? Well, imagine how ecstatic I was to discover I could buy the key cereal ingredient in a jar in the spice aisle? You’d better believe Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™ finds its way into my hands at least once a day. It’s what I use in the cinnamon streusel topping, because I love to get that cinnamon toast cereal flavor in all my favorite foods! Greek yogurt — My tip for making moist muffins is to swap out oil for Greek yogurt. The muffins will be moist and you’ll get some extra protein and calcium in your diet to boot! Room temperature ingredients — I let the eggs, yogurt, butter, and milk come up to room temperature before mixing together these muffins because they will mix together more easily and the warmer ingredients makes for fluffier baked goods with a smooth texture.

Is Ground Cinnamon the Same as Cinnamon Powder?
Yes, the two are interchangeable. Sometimes powder might be ground a bit finer than the ground spice, but they will both work the same in your recipes!
Expert Tips
These cinnamon streusel muffins will keep for a week either placed in an airtight container at room temperature or wrapped individually in plastic wrap and put in the fridge. Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups. You only need to put the batter in up to ⅔ full and then top with streusel. Otherwise, they will overflow when baking and the streusel will burn onto your muffin tin instead of delighting your tastebuds with its Cinnadust goodness. Take care not to over-mix or over-bake the muffins or you’ll run the risk of having over-dry, hard muffins instead of these moist, melt-in-your-mouth ones! For a little extra crunch on these muffins, you can mix in some finely chopped walnuts or almonds into the streusel and bake as directed.
