Any of you Tastefully Simple fans out there? These taste JUST like their Cinnamon melt muffins (actually I don’t remember what they are called). Rolled in butter and dredged through cinnamon sugar, these definitely will bring you to that sugar high quite quickly. I usually make two batches so that I can freeze them. 25 mini muffins fit quite nicely in a Ziploc gallon bag. I froze 4 bags of these, plus we had another 20 or so left to eat hot out of the oven.
You can make these big (using a regular sized cupcake pan), however you would have less cinnamon/sugar to muffin ratio. And I like crunch of the sugar on my muffin. Plus, you don’t feel as bad eating 3 little ones instead of 1 big one! Trust me on this.
Ingredients
- 3 cup flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup butter flavored Crisco
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 2 sticks butter, melted
Instructions
- Mix one cup sugar with shortening until well blended. Add eggs.
- In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg. Add flour mixture alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Beat well after each addition.
- Lightly grease 18 muffin cups (or 48 mini muffins). Fill muffin cups half full. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes (minis for about 13-15 minutes).
- While baking, melt 2 sticks of butter. In separate bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Eat, enjoy, and eat some more! (Recipe slightly adapted from Pioneer Woman)

Call me crazy, but I swear I can actually smell these if I sit close enough to my screen. Those look divine.
These look so good. Can’t wait to try the recipe.
Oh yum, these look delicious.
I love anything that is drenched in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar! Thanks for linking up to Fat Camp Friday. Hope you enjoyed your weekend, see you next time!
These look so yummy. I have a mini muffin pan I don’t put to use nearly enough. I’ll have to make these.
Ohh I want some of these! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’d love for you to stop by and link up to my Share the Wealth Wednesday Link Party at http://www.laughloveandcraft.com. I’m your newest follower.
My family is crazy for these muffins. They made the Top for last week’s Sweets for a Saturday. Congrats!
If you don’t have Butter flavored Crisco what could you substitute?
Hi, you could either use regular Crisco or substitute unsalted butter in it’s place. ENJOY!
You stated you couldn’t remember what these muffins were called. They are “French Breakfast Puffs”. My Mom got the recipe (exactly the same as yours) from her sister in law Carol when she and her husband were stationed in France. We’ve been making them for years in our house. Most espicially for holiday morning breakfasts!. They are my favorite!
I have a recipe that I have made for about 25 yrs now, that is similar, but they are called mini applesauce muffins. They obviously have applesauce in them, and are rolled in cinnamon sugar too. My daughter who is 35 ask me to make these for her when I ask her what would you like for your birthday dinner. I never realized how much she liked them till that day. I don’t make them often now that the kids aren’t home, but might make the recipe on this page and freeze them like suggested!
And they look beautiful in that beautiful Pampered Chef Bamboo bowl!
OMG…these look so good! I followed that picture all the way over from g+
YUM
