Gluten Free Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed by everyone, even those with gluten sensitivities. These muffins are moist, tender, and packed with the warm flavors of cinnamon.

To make these muffins, start by mixing together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together butter (or a dairy-free alternative) and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt (or a non-dairy substitute) and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just incorporated.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon to make the swirl filling. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, then sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Top with more batter, dividing it evenly among the muffin cups. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon filling with the batter.

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Gluten Free Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of the day. They are sure to be a favorite among gluten-free and non-gluten-free eaters alike! Enjoy!
