Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.

  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
