Snicker Doodle Muffins!

Fall is made of cinnamon, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice....and so are my....

Snicker Doodle Muffins

Ingredients

1/4 cup of packed brown sugar (darker the better)
1/4 cup of white sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup of cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup of milk (I used fat free and it worked great, however a higher fat milk would be fine-if not better!)
1 egg

Coating ingredients:1/3 cup of sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of melted UNSALTED Butter

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Add flour, baking powder, sugars, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice in stand mixer with paddle attachment.
3. Add the cold butter pieces. Mix on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, slightly whisk the egg and milk together then add to the flour mixture.
5. On slow-medium speed mix the egg into the flour mixture until just combined - do not over mix!
6. Using a standard muffin pan, spray with cooking spray or coat with butter.
7. Divide batter by the spoonful equally amongst the muffin cups.
8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the muffins are almost golden and the tops spring back when lightly touched. 9. Remove from oven and let cool. Combine cinnamon and sugar for coating. Melt the butter, set aside.
10. Un-mold the muffins, lightly brush each muffin with melted butter.
11. Dip each muffin into the cinnamon sugar and roll it around to coat.

ENJOY!
