Mini Peppermint Coffee Cakes

I like these cute little muffins because they're easy to prepare and are wonderful as little snacks or gifts during the holidays. They're a little different from your typical Christmas cookie, and they're great for a festive breakfast, too. —Ethel Lambert, Baltimore, Maryland
