Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Be a food blogger, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Now I want to say this up front, this is not a complaint post, I enjoy cooking and sharing what I make with all of you.  It's more that I want to put out into the universe that no one is immune to cooking fails. No one. In this case, I'd procrastinated making a recipe that I needed for a post until way beyond what would be considered last minute.  I crammed making the recipe in between several other things I needed to be doing without ever thinking about what would happen if it didn't turn out perfectly.

I'm excited to be joining the #MuffinMonday bakers this month, it's been a while! I keep a board on Pinterest full of muffin recipes to try, but I kept coming back to this one from Taste of Home.    I used my cookie scoop to portion out the dough, it makes it so easy.  Since I omitted the nuts due to allergies and filled the tins more than the recipe stated, I got 30 muffins. I thinned out my glaze a bit more with the cherry juice, which gave them a gorgeous pink color. Using the mini chips really lets everything get evenly distributed throughout the muffin.

You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board . Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page .
