Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients together. Combine wet and dry ingredients together and stir together well. Scoop batter into muffin pan about half way. Scoop cinnamon topping on top of the muffins and bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes (I did 8). Let them cool for 10 minutes and then gently scoop out of pan and serve.
