Do you ever think about shocking your family with a new recipe on one of the top holidays?  I’m doing more than thinking about it – I’m trying new recipes now and toying with the idea of serving sweet Snickerdoodle Muffins on Christmas morning.  I will probably make regular biscuits too, just so I don’t get a ration of grief from my mostly wonderful family.  Biscuits and gravy are a Christmas family tradition going all the way back to my childhood.  But being the foodie that I am inspires me to also be a rebel.  Join my wayward gang and make these muffins for your family too, on a holiday no less!

PRINT RECIPE
A moist delicious muffin that tastes just like the cookie!

Ingredients

For the muffin batter:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (use all sour cream if desired 1 ¼cup total)
  • 2 ¼ cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • dash salt

For coating the muffins:

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  • In a high sided bowl combine the ¾ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Mix until blended. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a muffin pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and mix until blended. Add the eggs one at a time and blend well after each addition.
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and baking powder. Alternate adding the flour and sour cream/yogurt to the butter mixture beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Use an ice cream scoop and scoop out a heaping mound of dough and drop it into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Gently roll the dough ball around until it is completely and generously covered with cinnamon and sugar. Place the dough into the greased muffin pan. Repeat until the muffin pan is full. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of each as desired. Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes until lightly browned and firm on top.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

    I always try new cookies this time of year. We go around the table and everyone picks their favorite…so much fun. :)<br />These muffins look amazing! I wish I could grab one from the basket right now. 🙂

    These look like a perfect Christmas morning muffin to me. What's not to LOVE about snickerdoodles – starting with the name!

    These muffins sound and look delicious.<br />I think it's a great idea to bring some new inspiration to long lasting traditions<br />- something old and something new- best of 2 worlds:)

    Great looking muffins, Tricia! I've never made snickerdoodles or this type of muffin, obviously. You make it look scrumptious and I'm a huge fan of anything that stays moist for a few days! I usually make pancakes or something that my son likes on Christmas morning after the whirlwind of unwrapping happens…now you have me thinking of doing something different.

    Well, my manservant from Tayxas would go biscuits and gravy. Now for myself, I'd eat about 10 of these. They look so good, Tricia. And I'm a cinnamon girl!

    Lovely, luscious muffins, worthy of a new family tradition! I love the smell and taste of snickerdoodle baked goods. I have made snickerdoodle cookies and snickerdoodle cake but I haven't found a recipe I liked for muffins. They are always stale by the next day.What a bonus that these stay yummy! I am going to bake these up for next week's care package! I bet its the Greek yogurt that

    For me what's so perfect about them is their imperfection. Beautiful.

    There's nothing like that Snickerdoodle flavor. These look so good and I think I'd be with your husband and eat them just as they are. Does that mean we can have two?
