My sweet granddaughter Naima came for a sleepover — and she is a muffin junkie! 🧁
So we made Mom’s Sugar Muffins, a family recipe my mom only made at Christmas time.
They’re warm, buttery, and rolled in cinnamon sugar — totally irresistible.
This batch makes 12 “mini” muffins… but trust me, they rise up bigger than you’d expect.
You probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboard right now!
A perfect back-to-school treat.
Bake ’em & Bite ’em! ❤️

Ingredients 🧂
The “stuff”…
- 1½ cups flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp orange extract (I used vanilla — who even has orange extract?!)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup melted butter (for dipping)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar (for coating)
Instructions 👩🍳
What to do with the “stuff”…
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin pan.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in extract.
- Spoon batter into greased muffin tins.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden.
- Let cool slightly.
- Melt butter in a small bowl.
- In another bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar.
- Dip each muffin in butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Shake off the excess and place on a cooling rack.
Notes 📝
These muffins are nostalgic, cozy, and dangerously snackable.
Perfect for holidays, lunch boxes, or a Saturday morning treat.
