There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the house, isn’t there? Cinnamon Roll Muffins are the perfect sweet treat to bring that warmth into your kitchen.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or non-stick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Make Filling: Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to create the flavorful filling.
- Layer and Swirl: Spoon a layer of batter into each muffin cup, add a sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar filling, then cover with another layer of batter. Use a toothpick to swirl the layers together for that classic cinnamon roll look.
- Bake: Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Glaze: While the muffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and a splash of milk to create a simple icing. Drizzle over the warm muffins as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Enjoy!: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before indulging in their warm, cinnamon-infused goodness.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture.
