Here the thing. One of my favorite meals of the day is breakfast. However, I almost never eat breakfast. Correction, I almost never eat breakfast at breakfast time. I know that it’s the “most important meal of the day,” but who has the time or energy in the morning when opening your eyes is a challenge on its own? So when I saw these quick and easy am goody on The Pioneer Woman’s blog, I could instantly smell the warm butter and cinnamon coming from my oven.
The wonderful muffins are perfectly sweet and dense. They remained very moist and are great simply paired with fresh fruit. The snow is coming in at the mountain and I plan on making these again for my friends to eat during our drive up to play in the fresh powder… Enjoy 🙂

Melt the butter in a bowl and combine the white sugar with the cinnamon in another bowl.
Shake muffins out while still hot. Dip muffins in butter, then into the cinnamony sugar mix. I really go overboard during this part:) Let the cool for a minute and enjoy.
