- Prepare your mise en place.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together both flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. These are the dry ingredients.
- Add wet ingredient to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (Do not over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will cause dense muffins.)

- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are set. Enjoy!
Be adventurous, add one cup of chopped, lightly roasted nuts to the recipe. Walnuts, almonds, or even pecans would be wonderful options.
