Cappuccino Muffins

These muffins are a perfect way to start Father's Day. They are quick and easy to make (this is a great recipe to ask kids to help with too). While the muffins are moist and delicious and feature the taste of coffee, chocolate and cinnamon, the brown sugar provides a tasty crunch. Dad's will love them!!
