Cinnamon Glazed Muffins

This recipe is my daughters favorite recipe and it is so good and so good for you.  Ok; not exactly.  But it is so good.  It is a whole lot of cinnamon and sugar.  I decided that I would up the recipe for the cinnamon glazed muffins by adding maple syrup.  I put the syrup on the bottom of the muffin tin and then added the rolls.  When the muffins were taken out, the bottom, flipped over the top, had a great layer of syrup.  

Cinnamon Glazed Muffins

These are normally served as rolls.  I wanted to serve them as muffins because I wanted to add the maple syrup.  Like these need more sweetness.  If you are going do it, then go for it.  I do not do it often, so go ahead and enjoy.
