Spoon evenly into prepared cupcake liners and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.

Whipped Cinnamon Honey Butter
In a bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the softened butter until fluffy.
Add cinnamon and honey and beat another 3-5 minutes until the honey butter is light and fluffy. Serve with warm muffins.

Notes
Sweetness: This is a lightly sweet muffin recipe, gaining most of its sweetness from the cinnamon honey butter, but if you like your muffins a little sweeter, feel free to add up to ½ cup of granulated sugar to the batter with the wet ingredients.Pancake mix: You can you whatever pancake mix you like -- I used this one, but any pancake mix that calls for eggs and oil to be added will work!Milk: I like buttermilk as the milk in this recipe, but any milk you like will work! You can use whole dairy milk, almond or soy milk, or 2% or skim, depending on what you have on hand.
