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:

Do you know a newbie baker who's not sure of their mad cooking skills yet? Pass these along. Easy to make + taste bonanza = lots of payoff for their baking efforts.
Happy baking!
Those look DELICIOUS!
Thank you (they really are)!
Ooooooh I wish I could make these! It would be so cruel to my son who can't have a lot of cinnamon though. 🙁
Try it with omitted cinnamon. Maybe add nutmeg.
These look amazing! I love muffins and I love coffee cake. These would be the perfect breakfast for me 🙂
