Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (add more if you like!)

Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely golden at the edges and just set in the center. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer individual muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
