Not your ordinary muffin, these muffins are sinfully delicious with a luscious, moist, rich cinnamon filling then crowned with a streusel topping and a sweet glaze. These would be a wonderful way to start your Easter morning.
This Simply Sinful Cinnamon Muffin recipe is one of many great recipes on the King Arthur Flour website. I’ve posted before how much I love the King Arthur Flour Fudge Brownies and their Double-Dutch Dark Cocoa. So when King Arthur invited me to partner with them, I chose to bake this cinnamon muffin recipe because I’ve been wanting to try their Baker’s Cinnamon Filling mix.
In addition to the Baker’s Cinnamon Filling, King Arthur Flour also sent me a coupon for a free bag of flour at the supermarket and a cookie scoop. If you’re not using a large cookie scoop to portion out your muffins, you really need to get one and give it a try. A scoop makes it so much easier.
This recipe make huge, pretty, almost overflowing muffins. I even put a tray underneath the muffin pan just in case they did overflow. Unlike other cinnamon fillings, this filling stays thick and moist. I only used a portion of the bag they sent me, so I’m looking forward to using it in some cinnamon rolls in the near future.
I thought the topping needed to be sweeter, but my daughter said, “No they’re perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.” If you’d like to bake these perfect muffins at home, King Arthur Flour has also offered to giveaway a cookie scoop, a bag of Baker’s Cinnamon Filling, and a coupon for a free bag of flour at the supermarket to one lucky Barbara Bakes’ reader. Details on how you can enter the giveaway are at the bottom of the post.

These look devilishly delicious and since I’ve got company coming in a few weeks, I might have to make these for them. I looove cinnamon in anything! I love King Arthur products and their catalog, but I don’t order very often because of the expense.
