Mini Coffee Cake Muffins
…bite size breakfast treats
Oh Martha, you did it again. You created a masterpiece and I fell deeply in love. This time, it wasn’t chocolate though. To my surprise, it was light and fluffy and mini—perfect for breakfast! My favorite part about these tiny treats is the cinnamon-sugary, crisp and crumbly topping. I also loved that the recipe was quick, easy, and only made a small batch—meaning, I will definitely be making these again, very soon!
