Cinnamon Streusel Mini Muffins are so simple and will fill your kitchen with a spicy sweet cinnamon aroma.
But first ...
I would love to share my morning life and the blogging routines that need to be done before the cooking begins.
I get up out of bed and go directly to the kitchen. No stopping for anything. Not only to the kitchen but to the Keurig. I flip it on, pick up my 'coffee pod' and fill it with my favorite coffee of the day.
It is so inexpensive when you can go this way with coffee grounds and the pod. Fill it up to the line, drop it in its slot, push a button and voila, I am set.
No breakfast yet, not awake. Off to the computer.
There is quite a bit of technological and social work behind a blog. The morning is when I relax with my coffee, all by myself, sit and look at pretty food photos and inventive recipes.
I pin, tweet, yum, share, heart, flip, tumble and stumble. These are actual actions! I also find a lot of inspiration during this time. Notes are being made.
Let me show you a photo of another delicious muffin that is another favorite on the blog. It helps the flow of the page (more computer geek talk) This pics of Cinnamon Apple Crisp Muffins.
Relaxing, sipping, reading and commenting. All of a sudden an hour is gone and so is my coffee. Back to my kitchen for a second cup and a little bite to eat. Back to the computer.
After catching up on my email, there are photos to edit and a bit of writing to do for my next post.
The post doesn't get done all at once because I like to have a fresh look at my writing - every day until it is posted for you.
Now ... let's start getting inventive in the kitchen. Are you ready for some Cinnamon Streusel Mini Muffins?

The texture on that crumb topping looks like perfection! I would have a hard time not eating six at once, lol!
