These look great. Much better than the food my kids often want for breakfast when they’re in a hurry.
Thanks Stephanie 🙂

Thanks Debra 🙂
What cream are we adding in step 3??
Hi, You don’t add any cream. “Cream” means beat on medium speed.
Instructions are easily confused. I thought I needed to add cream, when I was supposed to use cream as a mixing technique. I also mixed my melted butter and sugar/cinnamon mixture, when I should have brushed melted butter and then dip/roll in dry cin/sug. DUH!!!

Can you make the Blueberry Muffins with Streusel topping without yogurt …
I was looking for something different & simple to make the family for breakfast. These were perfect! They are really sweet, so I made a berry salad with them. They are exactly like an Old Fashion donut with cinnamon sugar. I even made them w/gluten free flour so I could eat them too! Thank you!
