1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a separate bowl, combine egg, vegetable oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Fold in the

Fill the prepared muffin cups or tins 2/3's full. Sprinkle mini cinnamon chips on top of each muffin.
