Coffee Cake Muffins

Mrs. Tucker loves a good muffin, don’t you?  When I was first married, and a beginning cook/baker, I made these Coffee Cake Muffins for special occasions, like birthdays and Christmas morning.  Anyone who was lucky enough to be a recipient, raved.

They’ve been on my mind, so I decided to find the recipe and make them again, to see if they’ve stood the test of time.

Oh, momma.  They have.

Can you smell the cinnamon goodness:

#5: Cut in shortening.

It means to mix the shortening with the flour using a pastry cutter or fork. Put shortening in with flour, then keep pushing it thru fork or pastry cutter until it resembles peas.

These muffins are to die for! My son doesn't like cinnamon, but loves mocha. So I melted a little butter and mixed in mocha powder & a little sugar to make a mocha crumble. Marbled that throughout 3 of the muffins & did the cinnamon mixture on the rest. Loved them both! I will make these again & again! Thank you for a great recipe!

Thank you for coming back and letting me you know you loved them! And the mocha sounds amazing. Glad you could satisfy everyone.
