French Breakfast Muffins

These are my kid’s favorite muffins. They love to have them for breakfast (along with some scrambled eggs for protein!).

We use coconut sugar so we feel better about eating this sweet breakfast treat!

Muffins:

4 cups wheat flour
1 cup sugar * (or 3/4 c. honey)
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs
2 cups plus 4 tbl milk
12 Tbl melted butter
2 tsp vanilla

Topping:
2-4 Tbl melted butter
Combine:
1/2 cup sugar*
1 tsp cinnamon

Heat oven to 375. Butter the bottoms only of standard size muffin tins. This makes 24 muffins.

Combine flour, sugar, powder, salt, and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Blend in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in liquid mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until just smooth. Spoon batter into tins, about 2/3 full.

Cook for about 8 minutes, then rotate pans, and cook for another 8-10 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack and then dip in butter, then sugar/cinnamon mix.

* Use coconut sugar just like granulated sugar and your body will thank you!
