Cinnamon Sugar Muffins make a great treat for breakfast or after dinner. If you loved cinnamon sugar toast growing up, you will love this recipe!
I was always that child who wanted the sugary cereals in the morning, I even still love having a little cereal for dessert some nights. I also love muffins in the morning slathered with butter, so I decided to take my two breakfast loves and combine them into one!
You can make this recipe completely dairy free if you use coconut oil instead of butter however the topping always turns out best when you use butter with it.
