I love Amish Friendship Cinnamon Bread. I love how quickly it comes together. I love that it makes big batches for my family with a bit extra to share with my friends. And I love how easy it is to freeze the leftovers so I can enjoy the bread whenever the mood strikes.
But as with so many other starter-based breads, sometimes I’m left with starter that I don’t know what to do with. My family and I can only eat so much bread in a week, and let’s face it, Amish friendship cinnamon bread is not the healthiest loaf in my rotation.
Today I’m bringing a fun alternative to cinnamon bread: Amish Friendship Cinnamon Muffins.
These sugary sweet muffins are wonderful to have with breakfast (or as a dessert). They have all the same ingredients and flavors as the original recipe, but they come in easy-to eat muffin shapes. If you can’t eat all of the muffins, then you can freeze them and thaw them for later and they taste just as lovely as the day they came out of the oven.
I tend to cut this recipe in half and only use one cup of starter and only make about 12 muffins. This way I can have one loaf of regular Amish friendship cinnamon bread and one batch of muffins whenever I have a baking day. Additionally, if I can’t give away a bag of starter (which only has one cup before it’s fed), I can just dump the extra bag in a bowl and get going.
I love these tasty dessert muffins, and I’m excited to share this recipe with you. But I’d love to hear what you think about my Amish friendship cinnamon muffins. Do you prefer softer muffins that you bake at a lower temperature for longer? Or do you prefer to cut to the chase and bake at a higher temperature? Do you enjoy the cinnamon sugar topping or is it too sweet for your taste?
