Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups whole wheat flour

• 1½ teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• Combine all the dry ingredients in a big bowl.

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Don’t overmix.

• Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.

• If you like you can sprinkle a little bit of sugar over the tops of the muffins (optional).
