Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes

These Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes are so good!  My family could not stop eating them.  I am glad that I took some of them to my son Cole’s football banquet, because we would have eaten them all.  Yes, they are that scrumptious and I can definitely see me making them again in the future very soon!

In this delicious Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes recipe I used Mom’s Best Toasted Cinnamon Squares®. They are so yummy and my kids love them for breakfast and as an after school snack.

Mom’s Best Cereal is free of artificial flavors or preservatives.  With no hydrogenated oils and no high fructose corn syrup.  Toasted Cinnamon Squares have 10g of whole grain per serving.  They are made with whole grain wheat and are naturally cholesterol free with 0g trans fat per serving. This is a sweetened whole wheat and rice cereal with cinnamon for a healthy and delicious breakfast.

Mom’s Best cereals are a delicious, affordable and environmentally friendly way to do what’s best for your family and for the planet.  We love how Mom’s Best helps us provide a nutritious breakfast for our family and how we can easily turn that into a sweet treat for our kids too!  It is a pretty creative idea for an alternative use for cereal don’t you think?  We hope your family loves this recipe as much as ours did!
