How to Make Cinnamon Toast Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the cinnamon and crushed cereal.
Fill the muffin liners about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included). Dust with extra cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of deliciousness!
