Cinnamon Swirl Mini Muffins

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat fanforced oven to 180 Celcius.

2. 2

   Grease a 12 mini muffin tin.

3. 3

   For the cinnamon sugar, mix together the cinnamon and the light brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

4. 4

   For the mini muffins, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the egg, milk and melted butter.

6. 6

   Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and mix briefly until just combined.

7. 7

   Put a 1/2 teaspoon of the batter into each prepared mini muffin cup. Sprinkle each muffin with a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon sugar, then spoon some more batter and cinnamon sugar into the mini muffin cup.

8. 8

   Finish with a layer of batter, dividing it evenly. Using a fine skewer, swirl the mixture in each mini muffin cup to achieve the marbled effect.

9. 9

   Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, or until risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes (the sugar mixture will remain really hot, so don't be tempted to try them sooner), then turn out onto a wire rack.

10. 10

    Serve warm or cold. These can be frozen too!
