will it stuff up my muffins if i dont have it?If my banana muffin recipe asks for 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, is it ok if i just leave it out?
Its fine to leave out as it wont affect the texture of the final product. It will have an impact on the final flavour but not a great deal - its not like your leaving out the banana (that might not work too well!).If my banana muffin recipe asks for 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, is it ok if i just leave it out?
Baking or Cooking is all about you. It is just an additive. IT is not flour or baking owder which makes the dough. You can add anything or leave anything out. Try the others and see. This will not stuff them, but would be nice to stuff them.
I put cinnamon in almost everything I bake, Biscotti, Cake, muffins. I put it in my pancake batter. It adds so much. Do you have Pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice in the cabinet? Any of these will work as well. Your muffins are going to just taste a little less WOW without the cinnamon.
its all good to leave out the cinnamon...but then it wont taste and smell as good! but wont totally stuff up your muffins like they wont explode and whatever...BUT ya know if your gonna bake you should really get yourself some cinnamon





whats in nut meg?
it is ok
It's really not much to begin with. I think it will be ok. If you have any vanilla, add a bit more of that.
the cinnamon is only there for the taste it wont do any harm to leave it out.. i do it all the time like when brownies call for nuts, I just leave em out


soo good luck
Since i'ts only an eighth of a teaspoon, of course! I do it all the time. After all, It is a banana muffin!. If you want, you could put in some nutmeg, but you shouldn't have to. Hope this helps! -question001
Not to worry, it is definitely ok.
cinnamon goes well with your banana muffin.without it just makes your muffin plain tasting.it is really ok for today but the next time you try the recipe ,make sure you have either cinnamon or even allspice is ok too...





good luck = )
