🧁 What Are Grandma’s Fluffy Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins?

These muffins combine the best parts of two classic treats:

  • The lightness and crumb of a bakery-style muffin
  • The warmth and sweetness of cinnamon-dusted donuts

They're made with a rich batter that rises high and fluffy in the oven, then rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar right out of the pan — giving them that signature sweet crunch on top and tender bite inside.

They’re:

  • Moist and aromatic
  • Not too sweet, just right
  • Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacking
  • Great for gifting or school lunchboxes
  • Always a hit with kids and adults

Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just because you miss the smell of your childhood kitchen, these muffins deserve a spot in your recipe box.
