Cinnamon Chip Muffins

One day I was going through my cabinets to make a mental log of what I had, and what needed to be used up and I came across a bag of cinnamon chips. I honestly I have no idea why I bought them to begin with...there must have been some recipe I had in mind to try but never got around to it! So, with school snacks for my son in mind, I decided to make cinnamon chip muffins.

The first time I made these I did not think to put a topping on them, and I thought they turned out a little bland. However, my son and husband liked them anyway so I figured I'd keep the recipe but next time add some kind of topping to make them a little more exciting. I decided to go with a streusel topping, which worked out really well. My family thought they were really good and gobbled them right up! I might still play with the topping a little, but this recipe is a keeper for us. NOTE: If you exclude the cinnamon chips and topping, this muffin recipe is a great base for any filling you want to add.
