Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Breakfast Muffins

I was never the baking type. I am still learning / getting comfortable with baking. But I made these puppies last Sunday after church and oh, my golly in heaven. They were delish. The hubs and I may, or may not, have eaten them ALL by Tuesday morning. So. Good.

AND SO EASY. I’m going to make them again. Probably tonight. Or now. Who knows?

Ingredients:

For the muffins:
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg

For the Topping:
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tbs. brown sugar
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F.

For the muffins:

In a large bowl, mix together all the DRY ingredients. Add WET ingredients and stir until combined, but still kinda lumpy. Scoop batter into muffin tins that have been sprayed with some cooking spray. I got 12 muffins out of the recipe by being a pretty stingy in each muffin tin. It probably makes 8, more likely, if you do normal scoops. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they start to turn a golden at the edges.

For the topping:

Mix the white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place melted butter in another small bowl. Once the muffins have cooled enough for you to touch and handle with your hands, dip the warm muffins in melted butter (I did just the top of the muffins, but you could probably do the whole muffin if you wanted to get dangerous), then dip/roll the muffin in the cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar mix. You might have left-over topping; the extra topping can be used for dipping. Another option is to cut the topping ingredients in half… if you want to play it safe.

ENJOY!

Super easy and super yummy.

  1. I am baking these right now and I have been looking for ages for a cinnamon brown sugar muffin recipe and couldn’t find anything that looked good at all! They mostly had some poor reviews or they didn’t contain sugar, which is totally fine if that’s what you’re looking for, but good muffins always have sugar in my opinion. I once made muffins without sugar and they were edible but not delicious 😛 I tasted the batter before putting them in the oven and it tastes amazing so I’m really looking forward to checking them when they come out! Yay!

  4. I found your recipe on Pinterest. I’ve made it four times now and they are hands down the best muffins I’ve ever made. My husband loves them, says they taste like cider donuts! My brother loved them, my mother loved them, and I think I will make them for thanksgiving but substitute cider for milk to go with the spirit of the season.

    Thanks for such a delicious recipe!

  7. My fiance & I made these tonight! We thought they tasted delicious but both agreed that next time we will use less of the topping mixture so they aren’t as sweet 🙂
