These Cinnamon Cookie Butter Mini Muffins are full of sweet cinnamon tons of cookie butter. They are the perfect breakfast or snack to make this holiday season!
Merry Christmas Eve! Is everyone ready for Christmas? In case you are still trying to decide what to serve for breakfast tomorrow, I have the perfect recipe for you. Cinnamon Cookie Butter Mini Muffins! Mini muffins are just so cute. They are the perfect food to have out around the holidays when people are around because they are so poppable! Is that a real word? I don’t think so, but it should be because it describes mini muffins perfectly – you just pop one in your mouth!
The flavor of cinnamon always reminds me of Christmas. Maybe it is because my family usually has some type of cinnamon roll or cinnamon coffee cake on Christmas morning, but I definitely can’t get enough cinnamon this time of year. In fact, I’m sitting here eating some of this easy cinnamon bread as I type this! Sadly, these cute cookie butter mini muffins are long gone. Due to their poppability, they disappear quickly.
I bought the cutest mini muffin papers when we were in Brussels (post to come soon, I promise. TheBetterHalf is slacking), so I wanted to bake a festive mini muffin to use them.
I incorporated cinnamon to use one of my favorite holiday flavors, and then I decided to add cookie butter! Have you tried this stuff? They sell it at Trader Joes, or you can buy Biscoff spread at most grocery stores (except probably not in NYC. I can never find anything in our tiny markets!). It blends up delicious Biscoff speculoos cookies, which are so buttery and have a hint of cinnamon and spice. It is addicting. I can eat the stuff by the spoonful!
The cookie butter tastes amazing with the cinnamon in these muffins. These little guys come together so quickly, and they will make your house smell amazing. Nothing beats the scent of cinnamon in the oven. It is so warm and cozy, perfect for the holidays. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Man down. Whoops.
