I think that Sam and I would agree that these muffins were the yummiest things we have made yet. They are as gooey, cinnamon-y delicious as they look in the picture.
Every time I walked into the kitchen, there was one more muffin gone. Between Sam, Derek and I these muffins lasted two days and I am ashamed to say they made ALOT.
These will definitely be a regular menu item!
INGREDIENTS
Muffins
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Icing
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 tablespoons milk
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 24 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, 1 cup milk, the softened butter, and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Gently stir half of the mixture into the batter in a large bowl. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
In a small bowl, beat Icing ingredients with a whisk. Drizzle over warm or cooled muffins.
