For the Cinnamon Sugar

- Fill the muffin liners almost all the way full with batter.
- Drizzle the mixture over each muffin.
- Use a toothpick or butter knife to swirl it through the batter top with remaining batter and turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 425 for 5 minutes then lower the oven temp to 350 and bake an additional 18-20 minutes.
Notes
I used parchment for my liners. I simply cut out about 4″ squares, and then pressed them down into the muffin pan, folding them where necessary.
