On Thin Icing is set in the remote Southern Oregon Mountains at Lake of the Woods resort where a snow storm descends on the high alpine lake forcing everyone to gather around a cracking fire with steaming mugs of French press, spiked hot chocolate and these Cinnamon Chip Muffins as a blizzard rages outside. These spicy yet sweet muffins are the antidote for cold, dark winter mornings. The warming spices and bursts of cinnamon chips in every bite are sure to delight your tastebuds and brighten your day.
Over the years readers have sent me their own versions of these muffins that they created based on the description in the book. I give you Jules’ take on a cinnamon chip muffin today. If you can’t find cinnamon chips you can substitute with a variety of flavors—butterscotch, chocolate, or even with golden raisins or chunks of dates.
