Cinnamon Muffins

Hey guys. Today I am making cinnamon muffins. I don't know about you, but I am always running out of things to have for breakfast. I either eat the same thing for weeks on end and get sick of it, or I jut don't want anything we have on hand. Muffins are a great breakfast treat that I think I will never get sick of.

These treats turned out great! My whole family loved them. The cinnamon sugar topping really made the whole muffins. They were simple and had a small amount of ingredients. My only regret was using almond milk rather than regular milk, a they did not rise very much.

I got the recipe off Pinterest from a website called KitchMe. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/cinnamon-sugar-french-breakfast-muffins

Here I the recipe, directly from KitchMe's website:

Cinnamon Sugar French Breakfast Muffins     

• Prep 10 min
• Cook 25 min
• Ready 35 min

Ingredients Serves 12

1. 1 ¹⁄₂ cup all-purpose flour,
2. ¹⁄₂ cup white sugar,
3. 1 ¹⁄₂ tsp baking powder,
4. ¹⁄₄ tsp ground nutmeg,
5. ¹⁄₈ tsp salt,
6. 1 egg, lightly beaten
7. ¹⁄₂ cup milk,
8. ¹⁄₃ cup butter, melted
9. ¹⁄₄ cup white sugar,
10. ¹⁄₂ tsp ground cinnamon,
11. ¹⁄₃ cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Stir together egg, milk and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until just moistened (batter may be lumpy). Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. When the muffins are done, dip the tops in remaining 1/3 cup melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Here's how mine turned out:

Although my version was not as picturesque as the original, they still tasted delicious and are a great treat for any time of day. The soft, cinnamon-sugar glaze and the warm center are really what makes these so good. If you are eating these after you've baked them, I'd strongly recommend to heat them up in the microwave prior to eating because they taste best warm.

ENJOY!
