Is a breakfast cupcake just a muffin?

At Sprinkles Cupcakes, the answer is an emphatic “no.” The Chicago sweet spot will be serving special “breakfast” cupcakes throughout January. Each of the cupcakes is based on a classic breakfast cereal, and each of them will be offered on the menu for only one week.

The cupcakes cost $3.95 apiece. This week, you can grab a Fruity Pebbles cupcake through this weekend to kick off the month. Here’s the full schedule, per the press release:

Jan. 1 — 7: Fruity Pebbles

Birthday cake topped with lemon-vanilla frosting and Fruity Pebbles

Jan. 8 — 14: Banana Cocoa Puffs

Banana cake topped with creamy vanilla frosting and Cocoa Puffs

Jan. 15 — 21: Triple Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Lightly spiced buttermilk cake topped with cinnamon cream-cheese frosting and Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Jan. 22 — 28: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch

Belgian dark-chocolate cake topped with peanut-butter frosting and Cap’n Crunch

Jan. 29 — Feb. 4: Strawberry Lucky Charms
