Cinnamon Crumb Muffins

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 28, 2015

My kids love the Betty Crocker Cinnamon Crumb packet muffins.  It is usually my emergency packet mix sitting in the back of the pantry.  I really do prefer to make muffins from scratch so wanted to come up with my own cinnamon crumb recipe and here it is, the kids LOVE IT, it’s a winner!!  Even better it’s made of all pantry ingredients and it’s so quick to make!

I have been seeing all of your yummy school recipes on Facebook and Pinterest this whole week – and I’m pinning them like crazy!! I love anything with cinnamon in it so these sound amazing (the banana and weet-bix muffins are also going on my must make list!). xx

We love the Betty Crocker packet mix too, so I am excited to try this recipe. We add a handful of frozen raspberries to the mix, adds a little zing & is so delicious!

Would adding some apples (i.e. like pie apples) be an option for this recipe, and if so, would I need to take anything else out?
