Snickerdoodle Muffins with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting for #MuffinMonday

Dec 3, 2012 by

I don’t get many requests from my husband like this, but he asked if he could take some muffins to work to share with his colleagues. He is well aware of my #MuffinMonday fix, and knows that unless the week is lost due to an extremely hectic schedule, muffins shall be made! He and his co-workers work really hard, and for long hours on rotating shifts. It’s very hard on their bodies and affects their sleep pattern. I was more than happy to send this weeks #MuffinMonday goodies for a break time treat! It’s the least I could do for such hard-working guys ๐Ÿ™‚

Today’s #MondayMuffin recipe is adapted from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody. This is my first time making snickerdoodle anything. The ingredients looked great but rolling the batter in cinnamon sugar seemed hilarious to me. Couldn’t wait to give it a try! I didn’t make too many changes as I really wanted to keep it simple. I did however, add a topping that somehow just went so well with these muffins. I also believe that this topping made this muffin “a cupcake in disguise”. This has got to be one of the best muffins I’ve tried. (Do I say that every #MuffinMonday?) Seriously, this muffin is moist, delicate, and needed more frosting! I purposely made a small amount of frosting to adorn these muffins. It’s all about control, especially during the holiday season!

Very visually appealing. The tops really do look like cookies! Or do I just have cookies on my mind…

I realized after I put these muffins in the oven that I used pretty pink muffin liners for my husband and his co-workers. Hopefully it will make them smile, before and after the first bite.

The white chocolate cream cheese frosting was just an experiment and I’m glad it worked out. I’m sure semi-sweet would work just as well. I’m tempted to try it with dark chocolate.

A very moist muffin. Not too sweet. Seriously addictive.

  1. Love that white chocolate cream cheese frosting! Delicious! The rolling around seemed like too much of a faff for me so I just sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on the top. Well done for following instructions! I am sure your husband’s coworkers were extremely appreciative.

    These were fantastic!

    A great way to start the shift. Thanks from all of us in the OCC!

  3. You know what’s funny?! I was just thinking that there needs to be more cream cheese for these holiday muffin mondays! Last year it seemed like everyone was always adding cream cheese to everything! Well done – they look great. I’m sure your hubby and his colleagues enjoyed these muffins (pink wrappers and all!)

  4. I’m not much into muffins generally. But if they tasted like snickerdoodles, I’d probably be won over. Speaking of snickerdoodles, my boss made pumpkin snickerdoodles recently, and they were really good.

    • A Snickerdoodle is a cookie rolled in cinnamon and sugar! Never had one but if its based on this muffin? Its probably pretty awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. These are gorgeous. There is nothing like a warm, yummy muffin in the morning. This is a breakfast I can sink my teeth into.

    Amazing muffins! I think a lot of that frosting would take a detour into my mouth ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am going to try the recipe, but I have one issue. In the ingredients you don’t list ANY sour cream, but in the instructions, you say to add the flour and sour cream to the wet ingredients. How much sour cream do I need? These look so good, and healthy enough for my son to eat for breakfast during the week.

    • Hi Audra! Thank you for showing me that little error I made. I’ve corrected it! These muffins are delicious and kid-friendly. I hope you get to make it soon ๐Ÿ™‚ I appreciate your visit and your comment!

  12. can I use all purpose flour? I don’t have whole wheat flour.
