Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

Today I hosted a brunch for some friends, I made quiche and these delicious Cinnamon Sugar Muffins from Beekman 1802. Beekman 1802 is a farm in New York state that was founded by two city slickers, who decided they wanted to live more "naturally, seasonally, and stylishly" so moved from Manhattan to the country.

These muffins, though definitely not healthy, are a nice morning treat. (I used light sour cream at least though!) I think the consensus from the brunch bunch was that these muffins are yummy! Thanks to Anne for her help in the kitchen!
