FRENCH BREAKFAST MUFFINS



French Breakfast Muffins image

This was taken from Better Homes and Gardens. The nutmeg gives a taste that is definitely for breakfast (not necessarily the best for dessert). These go GREAT with sausage and eggs! They are best served warm with breakfast. If you want to make them ahead of time, let them cool completely. Then place muffins in freezer containers or bags and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, wrap frozen muffins in heavy foil. Heat in a 300 degree F oven for 15 to 18 minutes.

FRENCH BREAKFAST MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



French Breakfast Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by HeidiHo5

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, preferably room temperature
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
TOPPING
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients for the muffins. Add wet ingredients and stir until combined, but still a bit lumpy. Be careful not to over mix. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray and scoop batter using a large ice cream scoop. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges. TOPPING: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip the warm muffins in melted butter (you can dip just the top, but it's even tastier to dip the whole muffin!), then dip/roll the muffin in cinnamon sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your muffins the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first few minutes: This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a more decadent muffin, use a caramel sauce or a caramel frosting.

Conclusion:

Caramel spice French breakfast muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. These muffins are moist and flavorful, with a sweet and spicy caramel glaze. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy!
