So, I was in the mood to bake something for breakfast this morning... I have had this recipe bookmarked since my eyes first saw it! The title is enough to make us all want them isn't it? But then, you read thru the recipe and realize that these scrumptious little bites of yum are dipped in melted butter (okay, maybe I soaked a couple) and then they are coated in cinnamon sugar! Cinnamon toast is one of my favorite breakfast foods so that makes these even more tempting, if that's even possible. Muffins are also something that work well for daycare kids.. hand foods that make them think they're getting away without using their table manners:-) And besides, with muffins, they are easily made into "bite-size" mini muffins! Simply use a mini muffin pan instead of a regular muffin pan! Out of 3 Big critics and 6 little ones, I heard no complaints....and they're gone!

I seen these on Tasty Kitchen and I did try the similar ones that The Pioneer Woman did in her cook book. I liked them but thought they were a little too sweet. I think next time I'll just dip the tops.
ReplyDeleteyeah... I dipped the top of about half of them... but no one here complained they were too sweet. And the kids even ate them not dipped at all..
