Mix up a quick batch of Bisquick cinnamon muffins, dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar. Simple and easy, melt-in-your-mouth, breakfast and brunch recipe!
I really thought there was nothing quite as yummy as my favorite Bisquick cinnamon biscuits. But I'll tell ya, these Bisquick cinnamon sugar muffins give my biscuits a run for their money.
And yes, the batter's made with Bisquick biscuit mix, along with 5 other ingredients. Meaning they're super easy to mix up.
Now my original intention was to add a crumb topping to these Bisquick muffins. But I decided for this recipe, I really wanted to emphasize the cinnamon with a buttery cinnamon sugar topping.
Once the muffins have baked, they're dipped in melted butter, and then in cinnamon sugar. This gives them a slightly crispy, melt-in-your-mouth topping that is oh so scrumptious.
Even my self-professed “bread snob” of an oldest child loves these Bisquick sweet muffins. And let me tell you, that right there means something.
Of course, we love Bisquick cinnamon rolls and Bisquick cinnamon scones too. Apparently, we have a thing for cinnamon.

Small Bowls – for dipping the muffins.
HOW TO MAKE BISQUICK CINNAMON MUFFINS
Mixing up the muffin batter is really easy and requires only a few steps.
Before you start, you'll need to either spray your muffin tins with cooking spray or line them with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Add the eggs to the cinnamon sugar mixture, and mix well.
- Next add in the milk and vanilla extract, continuing to mix well.
- Finally, add in the Bisquick mix, and mix everything together until blended.
- Then just fill each of the regular size muffin cups 1/2 to 2/3 of the way full with muffin batter.
- Bake according to the instructions in the recipe card below.
When your muffins are done, they'll be a golden brown color, and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center will come out clean.
Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes; then take a knife, run it around the edge of each muffin, and pop them out for dipping.
HOW TO DIP BISQUICK MUFFINS IN CINNAMON SUGAR
First of all, you'll need to melt the butter in one bowl. And then in a separate small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar.
Then you're ready for dipping…
- Dip the top of each warm muffin in the melted butter first.
- Then dip every muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture, rolling the tops around to make sure they're covered with the slightly crispy cinnamon sugar topping.
Then place the muffins on a wire rack to finish cooling. Or better yet, serve them while still warm.
CAN I MAKE THEM GLUTEN-FREE?
Yes, you can. In fact, Bisquick has a Gluten-Free Bisquick Mix. How awesome is that?
I do suggest having a little xanthan gum available to add to your biscuit batter when mixing. I usually add about a teaspoon for every 2 cups of flour, so with this recipe, I'd likely add a somewhat heaping teaspoon.
WHAT CAN I ADD TO THESE EASY CINNAMON MUFFINS?
You can add just about anything you want. But keep in mind, certain things will change the texture of your muffins.
That said, there are so many awesome add-ins for muffins…
- Fresh or frozen fruit – Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
- Nuts – Pecans, walnuts, black walnuts, or almonds.
- Chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
- Add a spoonful of fruit jam, Nutella, or cookie butter to the center of each muffin.
HOW TO STORE CINNAMON MUFFINS
It's important to store muffins in a muffin container, airtight container, or sealed plastic bag.
And you'll probably want to eat them within the first 2 or 3 days, so they're still nice and soft.
CAN I FREEZE BISQUICK SWEET MUFFINS?
Yes, you can. But be sure to allow at least an hour to thaw before serving.
To re-heat the muffins, just place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds each.
Be sure when freezing them, though, that you again store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Are the muffin called French toast muffins?
These are Bisquick cinnamon muffins, Elena.
These are delicious muffins! I did read the comments and made a few changes. First of all, I used Fairlife Fat-free milk and Heart Healthy Bisquick. I also added a small container of unsweetened applesauce. My only disappointment was in how they looked. They certainly didn’t look as appetizing as your pictures, but great tasting nevertheless.
I’m glad you enjoyed them, Peg! They are a favorite of mine.
Can you put muffin in refrigerant with sealed plastic bag and
How long muffins stay fresh?
Yes, you can do that. They will likely stay fresh for a week or so in the refrigerator.
Made these this morning and they turned out great. I’m thinking of mixing applesauce and nuts next time . Love them and will definitely make them again. Thank you for the recipe
That’s a good idea, Lauri. Thanks for trying the recipe!
As I’m making this I’m going… why does this feel off? Then thankfully I noticed the lack of fat! I poured about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into this, and another 1/3 cup of milk and it definitely fixed the texture up.
Leah, I usually don’t have this trouble, but I’m glad that you were able to fix it. Thanks for letting me know!
I just used brown sugar instead of regular sugar, added 1 teaspoon butter, and about 1/4 extra milk to the recipe. The taste is the same but they came out much softer like a muffin should be :D
Thanks for letting me know, Heather!
looks perfect, but Sososooooo dry. If I make again, which I am hesitant because of disability issues, I would add sour cream to make moist inside.
Unhappy for now, but will spread cream cheese on to enjoy.
Thanks for the feedback, Vonnie.
I found the same thing. Great cinnamon flavor, but really dry.
That’s very odd, as it hasn’t been my own experience with the recipe. I’m sorry they didn’t turn out!
Ok flavor but SOOOO dry. Needs some extra fat in the mix. Any suggestions?
Kelly, I haven’t had this issue with these muffins, but I guess you could add a little bit of butter or a bit more milk?
Hi, Thank you for the recipe. As a gluten free baker I wanted to share that there is no need to add xanthan gum to Gluten Free Bisquick because it is already present in the ingredients. Adding more would cause an undesirable texture. I hope this is helpful.
Cinde, thank you! Very helpful tip.
Why did you use salted butter?
Whitney, it adds a bit more flavor.
