Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and fold into the wet mixture (do not overmix). Transfer to muffin pan.
Bake about 15 minutes until centers are done, cool completely.
In a small bowl melt your butter. In a separate bowl whisk your sugar and cinnamon. Dip each muffin in the melted butter (i just forked them at the bottom and dipped) and immediately dip in the cinnamon sugar, coating as much as possible.
Let this coating set and enjoy!!
