Ingredients
  

Cinnamon-Sugar Breakfast Puffs Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour provides structure; opt for whole wheat for a healthier twist
  • 1.5 tsp Baking powder gives puffs their rise; ensure it's fresh for the best results
  • 0.25 tsp Salt enhances sweetness and balances flavors
  • 0.25 tsp Nutmeg adds a warm, spicy note; can be replaced with allspice if desired
  • 0.5 cups Sugar sweetens the batter; can substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor
  • 0.33 cups Butter lends richness and moisture; unsalted is preferred for better control
  • 1 each Egg binds ingredients and adds fluffiness; a flax egg works for a vegan option
  • 0.5 cups Milk keeps the batter smooth; non-dairy milk can be used for a lactose-free version
  • 0.25 cups Butter melted for coating; adds a lovely sheen and flavor
  • 0.5 cups Sugar for the cinnamon-sugar coating; brown sugar offers a caramelized finish
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon the star spice that defines these Cinnamon-Sugar Breakfast Puffs!

How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar Breakfast Puffs
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and sugar.
  3. Cream Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and egg until smooth and creamy. Stir in the milk until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter evenly into your prepared muffin tins, filling about two-thirds full.
  6. Prepare Coating: Melt the additional butter and mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Coat the Puffs: Let the puffs cool for a few minutes, then dip each puff into the melted butter followed by rolling them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
