I absolutely love making muffins. Most of the time, they are pretty simple to prepare and can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, snack, or sweet treat! My favorite thing to do is freeze any extras for on the go breakfasts when mornings are rushed. My kids especially love it!
Last week, my son mentioned wanting snickerdoodle cookies as I was packing lunches. I wasn’t really in the mood to make cookies (I promised him this weekend instead), however, I quickly whipped a batch of these Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Muffins up in hopes it would hold him over a few days, haha!
Sure enough, when he got home from school and tried one as a snack, his eyes lit up and he said these were his new favorite! What a compliment given I have probably made over 50 versions of muffins since he has been born!
Even my other two kiddos and hubby enjoyed these! My little ones enjoyed this for breakfast the next day, and I dropped a few off to my parents and they had their with morning coffee.
Enjoy fresh out of the oven, or enjoy these room temp. My favorite way to eat these is warmed in the microwave for about 15 seconds, light spread of butter on top, paired with my morning coffee. So tasty and the perfect way to wake up! These aren’t overly sweet, so you can enjoy anytime!
If you’re a muffin fan (aren’t we all??), definitely try these and let me know what you think! Perhaps serve if having guests over, send to your neighbors/teachers as a goodies, or enjoy as a family!

Can you use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, please?
Kristin
I believe so, yes! I haven’t personally tried it, but don’t see why that wouldn’t work!

Can you use sweetner instead of sugar
Kristin
You can use honey (3/4 cup per 1 cup of sugar), Sucralose (even substitution), or Agave (3/4 cup per 1 cup sugar)
Allison
Can butter be used instead of oil, if so, in what quantity
Kristin
You can, but you would need to increase the butter, and decrease the other liquids slightly. I am not sure of the exact ratio unfortunately as I have never tried that.
