CINNAMON SWIRL, SNOW-CAPPED
MUFFINS
The top of these muffins has a delightful slight
crunch, just like with regular sugar muffins that have a crunchy topping. These will remind you of the glorious flavors
of cinnamon buns. A really good muffin –
great for company as well. It will be fun to serve as this is definitely dessert in the form of a muffin!

nonstick well-greased, regular-sized muffin pan, fill muffin cups half
full. Drop a 1/2 tsp of the Cinnamon Swirl mixture on top
and with a dinner knife, swirl in gently, making sure it is in swirls and not
completely mixed. Place about another
tablespoon (15 mL) muffin batter on top and about 1 tsp (5 mL) Cinnamon Swirl
in 3 tiny blobs. Swirl gently to create
a pretty pattern. Bake 20 to 25 minutes
or until a knife comes out clean. Allow
the muffins to cool completely before running a dinner knife around the
circumferences and lifting gently underneath with the knife and then carefully
removing. Place a blob of cream cheese
topping in the center of each muffin.
Refrigerate and remove 1 hour before serving for a lighter texture,
however, they are great cold as well.
