In case you’re wondering, I’m still in a cinnamon roll coma.

I decided it was time for something else for breakfast. Or snack time. Or if you’re anything like me, lunch and dinner.

I have issues.

Most normal people would eat broccoli or something. Or maybe eggs? No thanks. I’ll make some muffins.

Who doesn’t love creamsicles? And muffins? And cream? And heavy cream?

I do. I love anything and everything described “creamsicle.” Especially those Push-Ups I used to eat when I was on summer break. Those were the best. Remember them? Why did I ever stop eating them?

The only thing to make a delicious “healthier” muffin taste better is to add a sugary, creamy glaze on top.

Creamsicle muffins topped with creamsicle glaze?

Don’t mind if I do.
