If your house doesn’t smell like pine trees and cinnamon during the holidays you’re doing it wrong. This cinnamon streusel giant muffin recipe makes me really happy, not just because it’s really tasty, but because it reminds me of when I was little and my sister and I used to be obsessed with the boxed Betty Crocker’s cinnamon coffee cake. I don’t want to compare myself to Betty Crocker or anything, but these cinnamon streusel giant muffins are pretty darn good like almost as good as that instant coffee cake. You should know my dad ate 4 of these in less than 10 minutes and loved them. Granted he did just get out of surgery and couldn’t eat the day before, but I’m the new Betty Crocker okay let’s just go with it. Try out the recipe below!
