  8. Do not overmix
  9. half fill each of the 12 cupcake liners with your cupcake mixture
  10. sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon mix over each ½ full cupcake liner and with the handle of a teaspoon gently 'swirl' the mixture to slightly incorporate (do not fully combine you want 'patches of cinnamon through your cupcakes)
