Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line the muffin tins with the liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all purpose einkorn flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda and ¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt with a whisk.
- Add in 1 large egg, ⅓ cup organic butter (melted), 3 tbsp organic maple syrup, ½ cup organic whole milk, ¼ cup Whole fat Greek yogurt and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Use a wooden spoon to mix together- about 2 minutes. With einkorn flour you don't want to over mix.
- Set aside and in a small bowl mix together ¼ cup organic butter, ¼ organic brown sugar and 2 tsp organic cinnamon with a fork.
- Scoop 1 small cookie scoop or 1 tbsp. of the dough into each muffin tin.
- Scoop ½ tsp. of the cinnamon mixture on top of each. Use a toothpick and swirl into the dough. Do this for each muffin.
- Place another 1 small cookie scoop or 1 tbsp. dough on top.
- Place another ½ tsp. of cinnamon mixture on top of the dough and swirl again.
- Bake at 350℉ for 18-22 minutes until cooked through.
- While the muffins are baking, in a medium bowl whip together 8 oz cream cheese, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp organic butter melted and ¾ cup organic cane sugar
- Use a beater to make sure it is well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Once the muffins are baked, remove from the oven. If you are serving all of them right away, place 1- 2 tbsp. of the frosting on top. And smear. It will melt in and create a nice glaze.
- If you are serving later or freezing for later, wait until the muffins have completely cooled and then place 1-2 tbsp. of the frosting on top.
