French Breakfast Muffins

I love to make a batch of these French Breakfast Muffins as a special treat. And though there’s nothing French about these muffins, nor do they make for a nutritional meal to fit the breakfast bill, they taste awesome. Actually, these muffins were very popular in the 1970s, and they are worth trying today.

Making these muffins is pretty easy. Start by sifting together the dry ingredients, then add in the wet ingredients and stir until combined but still lumpy. Remember not to overmix! Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Next, take these buttery and sugary warm muffins and dip them in melted butter. And finally, coat them generously with cinnamon sugar. And I swear, this coating is addictive, so don’t skip it!

To make these French Breakfast Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
