This is a wonderful breakfast treat. My sons didn't like muffins when they were little but loved cake. I made this in a 7x9 pan, sprinkled with the cinnamon/sugar mixture, added some chopped pecans over the top and baked. When done, poked holes all over (using a wooden skewer) and poured the melted butter over the top. Same great taste and they were happy little campers. I still do this when they come home for holidays or hunting trips. Thanks for posting this great breakfast classic!!

I made this recipe into 6 regular size muffins. We really enjoyed them. They are very tender and flavorful. Thanks for sharing.

TY, these little guys are so wonderful the family loves them. We melt the butter and brush it on the top after we swirl it around the cinnamon sugar and perfection. Thanks again.

Made these for breakfast this morning for the kids. Not too sweet at all, without the topping. It's the topping that makes these. Thanks.

We all LOVE these! My kids are in their 40s and still talk about eating these for breakfast.
