Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Muffins – A fluffy muffin full of tons of cinnamon flavor and chocolate chips! They freeze well, so they are perfect for quick breakfast in the morning
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. If you traveled, I hope you made it home safe and that your travels were uneventful. We traveled to Wisconsin to be with our families.
It was so nice to have a week off from cooking, and get to relax with family. Now we are back though, and it is time for school, and schedules again. You all know I am a huge fan of muffins, and these are a must this week as we get back on track.
My 7 year old thought these were one of the best he has had in a long time. Chocolate Chip Muffins are normally his favorite, but he is also a fan of anything with cinnamon. So I decided to mix them all together for these.
I am not sure muffins have ever disappeared more quickly from my freezer. He had them every day until they were gone. If he loves something as much as chocolate it is cinnamon. So I knew cinnamon chocolate chip muffins were the way to go.
If a recipe has cinnamon in it, I think you need to taste it! So I added a full tablespoon to this batter. If you don’t want cinnamon to be the dominant flavor, you could cut back to 1-2 teaspoons. But, I think you should go all the way 
It is fall after all, and cinnamon is the perfect fall spice. So make a batch of these cinnamon chocolate chip muffins today, and you will have one happy family.

November 26, 2012 at 11:16 amThese look delicious, good enough for dessert I would say! I guess if you call them “muffins” though, it makes it legal to eat chocolate for breakfast, right?

November 26, 2012 at 6:26 pmI agree; if you’re going to use cinnamon, it needs to be THERE, not all wimpy in the background. And cinnamon and chocolate is such a great combo. I have got to give these a try!

November 26, 2012 at 7:15 pmI agree with you on the cinnamon, and love that you pumped it up in this recipe! Muffins (or some sort of baked good) always help me get back in the mood for work and a normal routine after a long weekend. I needed these at my house this morning for sure!

November 26, 2012 at 7:22 pmI wish I had a dozen of these muffins sitting in front of me right now! (And you’re so right about cinnamon…if a recipe calls for it then it really should make it’s presence known. Proudly.) 😀
