I don’t know about you, but cinnamon sugar is a favorite flavor combination at our house. We even have a sugar shaker just for cinnamon sugar so we can use some whenever the mood strikes. Since we love it so much, I thought that I would share this easy churro chip recipe with you all.

When I was little, my parents would make these cinnamon sugar chips for us as a special treat. We loved it! We ate them just as fast as my parents could make them.

Churro Chips

Light and crispy tortilla chips covered in cinnamon sugar.

Course Dessert

Author Amber Simmons

Ingredients

• Flour tortillas
• Cinnamon
• Sugar
• Oil for frying I used vegetable oil

Instructions

• Cut tortillas into chips. You can do wedges or strips. Whatever you like.
• Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl. You will be tossing the chips in the mixture so make sure there is room.
• In a deep pan heat your oil to 350-375. It can vary depending on your type of oil. It is best to have a thermometer so you know if your oil is getting too hot.
• Fry a few chips at a time until both sides are a dark, golden brown. Remove chips from oil and let excess oil drain for a minute.
• Put hot chips into cinnamon sugar and toss to completely coat.
• Enjoy.

One person can easily make these, but it is helpful to have a second set of hands just to man the cinnamon sugar. That’s the part the kids love to do anyway, so I am sure I will have no shortage of help. This time, I manned the sugar and my mom fried them. (Thanks, mom!)

When I was in Junior High School, which is now called Middle School, I took two years of Spanish.   Our teacher was small and wider than she was tall.  I remember towering over her.  Spanish was her first language and she spoke with a strong accent.

The first year that I was in her class, she transformed all of our English names into Spanish names and that was what we were to be called in her class for the entire year.

My name is Debbie and my teacher didn’t have a great Spanish translation for Debbie so the name assigned to me for the year was…DOLORES.

DOLORES.

The girl sitting next to me?  Her new Spanish name was….Catalina.

Catalina!

Oh how I wanted my new Spanish name to be Catalina!  I imagined that my life as a Catalina would be much better than my middle school life as a DOLORES.

Catalina’s are friendly and bubbly!  Catalina’s have fun!  Catalina’s have oodles of friends!  But here I was stuck as…DOLORES. Sigh.

What does all of this have to do with French Breakfast Cinnamon Mini Muffins?  Not too much other than that if I were in a French class, I would want to be called…..Collette!

Because everyone knows that Collette’s have much more fun than a DOLORES.

Well, no matter what your name is, you are going to love these French Breakfast Cinnamon Mini Muffins that melt in your mouth.  I pinned these from Velvet Lava Cafe because I am a cinnamon lover and couldn’t resist!

Cinnamon and sugar.  Sugar and cinnamon.  No matter how you say it, these muffins will scream your name (whatever THAT is) because This Pin Rocks!

French Country Cinnamon Mini Muffins

Course Breakfast

Servings 6 -8

Author Made From Pinterest

Ingredients

Muffins

• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk

Topping

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Incorporate your wet ingredients and stir just until combined. You want your dough to be just slightly lumpy. It's really important that you do not overmix this batter.
• Scoop batter into mini muffin tins that have sprayed with cooking spray. I was able to get 24 mini muffins Bake for 12-15 minutes. You want the muffins to be just slightly brown around the edges.
• For the topping, place your melted butter into a small bowl. Combine the sugar and cinnamon into a separate small bowl.
• When the muffins are finished baking and are still warm, dip the entire muffin into the melted butter and coat all sides. Then put the muffin into the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll around to cover all sides.
• Let cool (if you can wait that long) and enjoy!
