Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
Brad LOVES sugar. And until recently, it was a major part of his diet. Neither of us really thought much about how much sugar we had in a day. Well in late November, Brad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We weren't super surprised, but it was still disappointing. Well the point of all that, is this was an amazing recipe find prior to his diabetes. It was an easy muffin to make at home, and it was delicious! Unfortunately this aren't muffins I will be making again anytime soon [unless I come up with a sugar-free/low sugar recipe!]. But if you love cinnamon and sugar, try these! Plus they are Pioneer Woman...
