Brown Sugar Muffins

Brown Sugar Muffins-made with brown butter and cinnamon, then topped with a brown sugar glaze, these muffins will melt in your Mouth!

School has already started here. I’ve got 2 in High School and one in Middle School. The days start early. I mean really early. The 2 in high school have to catch the bus at 5:45 am. Yes, that’s what I said. 15 minutes before 6am. That means we are up in my house by 5am.

I need to get my coffee before I can start dealing with cranky teenagers. Then it’s time to get them out of bed. The girl is easy. She’s a morning person. She’ll be lying awake in bed just waiting for me to pop my head in with a good morning. She’ll hop off and jump right in the shower. Even in the winter, when it’s still cold!

The boy, on the other hand is a night owl. But he’s impressed my this year. Getting up before I do, he’s showing responsibility. He’s growing up. Makes a Mama proud.

And of course, Grace gets an extra half hour before she has to get up so no problem there. Compared to the other 2, she’s been sleeping in.

Having muffins available for breakfast makes life easy. They can relax and eat it at the table while watching cartoons (yes they still watch cartoons) or if they’re running behind, take one to go.
