White Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Muffins posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email A quick bread recipe transitioned wonderfully to muffin form. These White Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are ooey, gooey, and wonderfully sticky! This recipe came from the fabulous blogging kitchen of Cookin’ Up Good Times. We decided to do a recipe exchange– they tried one of my recipes, and I tried one of theirs. I learned three very important things from this experience: 1) Recipe exchanges are fun. You make new friends and get to try new recipes. Fun. 2) You don’t want to do a recipe exchange with me. Apparently it takes me about 8 years to get my post up. 3) It seems I have a knack for adding calories. My new friends created a lightened up version of my Samoas Dip (who knew that was possible??), and I added white chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting to their Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread. This quick bread recipe transitioned wonderfully to muffin form. They’re ooey, gooey, and wonderfully sticky!
