Mini Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins

I love love love cinnamon!!  I never find cinnamon chips in Montreal, but whenever I go down to Vermont, I buy a few bags to make some baked goodies!!


This recipe didn't have any cinnamon chips, but instead of adding some cinnamon - I just added about a cup of cinnamon chips!!
