Traditional French Puff Muffin (gluten-free)
These traditional French breakfast puff muffins are gluten-free and can also be vegan with some substitutions. Despite the name, they're really not a breakfast muffin. In fact, they're covered in sugar so they're not the healthiest breakfast option. But, they're delicious for a snack!

Notes
You can coat the entire muffin in cinnamon sugar. Try putting the butter-coated muffins (without the muffin liner) in a plastic bag with cinnamon sugar and gently shaking it around. You will need extra melted butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
