• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a muffin pan (either lining with paper liners or using Pam to spray).

3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and baking powder, cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingers.
4. Add this mixture slowly to the web ingredients, stirring just enough to moisten, but not smooth.
5. Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan. Top with 1 tablespoon reserved brown sugar mixture and then with the remaining batter.

7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan, and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

So anything with cinnamon, coffee flavoring is good for me.   Isn’t that a cute little cupcake stand?  My daughter Valerie gave it to me.  (hugs)  Anyway – these were awesome and it’s no wonder I blow up like a balloon when I bake, because mostly I eat it all. 

My husband has NO sweet tooth.  Original recipe from :  Opens Mouth
