Meltaway Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

When I made Barefoot Contessa’s baked cinnamon sugar doughnuts, I couldn’t get over how they just melted in your mouth. Much like the Tastefully Simple cinnamon sugar muffins I made years ago from a package. Knowing not everyone has a doughnut pan, I wanted to adapt the recipe to recreate those little muffins. In the name of research, I had to do a lot of taste testing. It’s the hard part of my job. However, the doughnut recipe has been adapted and I found the perfect cinnamon and sugar to muffin ration.

 Best when served warm, but I promise, you won’t hate them even a day later!

Just 10 minutes hands on time and you’ll be enjoying these melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon sugar muffins aka meltaway muffins!
