Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Butter
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 cup Fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

To make a simple glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, then drizzle over muffins.

Step 2

For a buttery cinnamon sugar topping, melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until dissolved. Spread this mixture over the muffin tops while still warm.

Step 3

For a fresh fruit topping, chop your favorite berries into small pieces. Arrange them on the muffin tops and press gently to adhere.

Step 4

To create a chocolate ganache topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, then spread or drizzle over muffins.

Step 5

For a healthy and sweet honey-nut topping, drizzle honey over the muffins and sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra crunch.
