Cinnamon and Sugar Breakfast Muffins

I am not a breakfast person. I’m one of those who only like breakfast food served for dinner. I like an omelet served with a salad.

There is one exception to my rule, and that is bread. I love breakfast bread, of all kinds.

I love English muffins, homemade bread, grocery-bought white bread toasted, and especially bagels.

I also like muffins, but they need to be simple for breakfast. That’s why I love this recipe so much. These cinnamon sugar breakfast muffins can be made a day ahead to make the mornings run smoother.

I put out a plate of muffins so we could grab a quick bite before walking out the door for the day.

These muffins are moist and packed with flavor. The cinnamon-sugar topping is like icing on the cake. Pardon the pun.

If you try this recipe for cinnamon sugar breakfast muffins, you will be surprised at how fast they disappear. They are perfect for the person who loves breakfast and those like me that would rather skip it. But, come to think of it, they are not just for breakfast.

Maybe I’ll have them for dinner tonight. Enjoy!
