Cinnamon Crunch Muffies!

Have you ever eaten a Panera Cinnamon Crunch bagel?  It is heavenly.  I like bagels, but I like muffins better, so I set out to recreate the crunch topping from the bagel and add it to a muffie (muffin top).  These muffies turned out great and they were so easy to make!

Here are the ingredients for the crunch topping:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup cinnamon

Here are the ingredients for the muffies:

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Begin by mixing the ingredients for the muffies.  Using a mixer, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add salt, cinnamon and baking powder.  Add the two eggs.  Slowly, add the flour, alternating with the milk.

Next, melt the butter for the crunch topping.  Add the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Add a little of the crunch topping to the bottom of your muffie pan.

 

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the muffies are brown and the top is crunchy!  YUM!

Enjoy!
