Cinnamon Puffs
Mmmm. We all know by now I love food right? No?
Well let me refresh your memory here, here, here & here.
Okay I think that's enough. I have a super sweet guest post here today sharing a super yummy recipe!
Please welcome Joy!
----------------------------------------
I've never been one to cook a big breakfast. At least not for breakfast. It just feels like way to much time. Breakfast for dinner is more my thing. However, due to my husband's job and Bear starting school this fall, breakfast is the only meal we get to eat together on a regular basis.
Because of this, I have been trying to get more creative with breakfast. I did stock up on cereal since, frankly, I don't feel like cooking a big breakfast every morning. That being said, I am trying to cook at least a few mornings a week. My hope is that when I bake I can bake double batches and freeze some for mornings when I have less time. I thought that as my guest post I would share one of my favorite breakfast foods! My mom used to bake them all the time, and then for whatever reason stopped. AS I got a little older I started making them on a regular basis and they are still a favorite even today.

** I
personally like my muffins baked till they are just cooked, becuase of
this the bottoms do not come out very brown. That being said I prefer to brush my muffins with butter rather than dip them. I find if I dip they become to saturated and start falling a part.
One of my favorite books ever talks about the characters always eating muffins on the first day of school. I always see them eating Cinnamon Puffs when I read that passage. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
