These classic cinnamon sugar muffins feature a tender, buttery crumb with a generous coating of sweet cinnamon sugar on top. Light, fluffy, and perfectly spiced, they’re reminiscent of old-fashioned donuts but in convenient muffin form. The dome tops get beautifully golden and crunchy with cinnamon sugar, while the inside stays soft and moist. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.
