Helpful tip… Out of sour cream?
I am hoping the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon was supposed to be part of step 4…mine are still in the oven so I guess I will find out in about 10 minutes!
Yes! You are correct…I updated the recipe! Thanks so much for the comment!
These look amazing! Do you sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture before and after baking? The last direction of “Sprinkle” confused me a bit.
Oh thank you for this… that last step was a typo! Disregard and I will delete it!
What could I use to subsititute the eggs? My daughter is allergic.
You can sub in 1/4 cup applesauce for each egg!
Recipes like this one make me realize I don’t eat enough muffins either! 🙂
Love snickerdoodles and muffins……going to try real soon! Great recipes!! Really want to try this chicken one in Crock-Pot.
Oh my goodness. Those look delicious. I know what I’m having for breakfast this weekend!
Could the batter possibly be made into a loaf rather than baked as muffins?
sure! And I do have a recipe for Apple Snickerdoodle Bread on my site! http://cookiesandcups.com/snickerdoodle-apple-bread/
These sound like my kind of muffin! Snickerdoodles are the best!
Oh, how I wish I had one of these right now! Cinnamon sugar topping and all!
Good grief. Is it possible to marry a muffin? Because I’m ready to go all in!
