Streusel-Topped Cappuccino Muffins will take morning coffee to a whole new level. And Espresso Cream Cheese Drizzle? Nope. Grab a knife and pile it on, it’s that good.

 

Never underestimate the power of coffee-anything.

While you can’t caffeinate with our Crunchy-Topped Cappuccino Muffins, the flavors will definitely elevate your mood.

Add a mug of brew, and you’re set for the day.

 

And yes, you can drizzle the Espresso Cream Cheese Frosting.

That looks amazing.

But in your best interests, we recommend using a knife, or spoon, or spatula, and spreading it thickly on a split muffin.
