Brown Sugar Spice Muffin

I’m a big fan of muffins. I don’t know why, I guess it’s because I feel like they’re a healthy cupcake I can eat for breakfast? 🙂

Whatever the reason, I just love those personal portion pillows of buttery goodness. (Because I have to put butter inside a warm muffin!)

 

Brown sugar muffins are the perfect treat

 

The muffin I make the most is banana bread muffins, but I have to wait until I have bananas for that. And sometimes, I don’t want to wait. I want a delicious muffin now!

Enter the Brown Sugar Spice Muffin.

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  2. Add egg and vanilla.
  3. Mix all dry ingredients together in separate bowl.
  4. Mix dry ingredients and milk alternately into creamed mixture.

They’re sweet and aromatic. It’s light and fluffy and reminiscent of farm cooking. I’ve never lived on a farm, but I suspect if I did, I’d be making these treats for my loved ones.

Fluffy delicious brown sugar muffins

I made these for dinner one night not too long ago. Yes, dinner. We paired it with ham & cheese scrambled eggs and fruit salad. Mmm!

Anyway. I made these for dinner and they were completely devoured. I thought there’d be some left for breakfast the next day, but there wasn’t. And there are only 4 of us!

Delicious muffins made from rich brown sugar and sweet cinnamon

The sprinkle of brown sugar really gives it a sparkly crunch that is the frosting on the cake. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Brown sugar sprinkled on top of the muffins is the perfect touch
