Cinnamon Roll Muffins – Mel’s Kitchen Cafe

These cinnamon roll muffins have a candy cinnamon ribbon operating by way of the fluffy, tender muffin. Drizzled with glaze, they’re unimaginable!

All of the flavors of a tasty cinnamon roll are mixed into a straightforward-to-make muffin that’s simply one of many tastiest muffins ever!

Straightforward Muffin Batter

The vanilla-flavored muffin batter is exceptionally easy. A really basic moist components meets dry components sort of muffin state of affairs.

Moist components:

  • granulated sugar
  • melted butter (can use a impartial-flavored oil)
  • eggs
  • bitter cream + milk (can sub in buttermilk)
  • vanilla

Dry components:

  • flour
  • baking powder + baking soda + salt

I’m lazy and by no means whisk the dry components individually earlier than including. However you possibly can! The one actually strict rule with these muffins (and all muffins all through the historical past of time) is to combine simply till mixed. Don’t over combine!

Buttery Cinnamon Streusel

This buttery crumbly cinnamon streusel combination is the guts and soul of those muffins. It provides taste, brings the cinnamon roll vibe strongly to the desk, and makes an in any other case primary muffin very particular.

  • brown sugar
  • all-function flour (equal elements flour and brown sugar)
  • floor cinnamon, and many it
  • melted butter

The combination is extra dry than it’s moist. That is necessary! The consistency helps the candy cinnamon ribbon keep solidly within the middle of the muffin and never sink to the underside.

Assembling Cinnamon Roll Muffins

This recipe makes about 15 to 16 muffins, which will likely be extremely annoying to a few of you. I get it. Muffin recipes that match neatly right into a 12-cup muffin tin are desireable.

However I promise, baking a smaller second batch of three to four muffins is value it for this recipe. A number of recipe testing classes did not yield a stellar mild and fluffy muffin with diversifications for a 12-muffin batch. So. That is the recipe we’ve been dealt, and we’re going with it.

  1. For meeting, line the muffin tin with paper liners (see be aware within the recipe with my deep ideas on muffin tins).
  2. Scoop 2 tablespoons batter into every muffin tin. A #40 cookie scoop works brilliantly right here.
  3. Sprinkle about 2 to three tablespoons streusel on prime of the batter.
  4. Scoop one other 2 tablespoons batter (a heaping 2 tablespoons if utilizing USA model muffin tins) on prime of the streusel.
  5. Sprinkle with a light-weight smattering of streusel.

The cups are about 3/four stuffed with batter and streusel for these muffins.

They dome superbly, and shouldn’t overflow, nonetheless, simply so that you don’t hate me, my disclaimer is that various manufacturers of muffin tins may behave in a different way (in addition to elements like when you stay at excessive elevation). I exploit the USA model of muffin tins – can’t suggest them extremely sufficient.

You’ll be able to bake a check muffin to see if you should make modifications for a way a lot batter to make use of in every muffin cup for the remaining muffins.

Drizzle with Glaze

As soon as the muffins have cooled, whisk collectively the easy cream cheese glaze and drizzle throughout the highest.

I feel you can simply skip the drizzle and dip the highest of the muffins within the glaze for a special utility and impact. I’m form of a fan of the beautiful stripes of the drizzle, however you do you. 😉

Flippantly candy vanilla muffin + cinnamon streusel + candy cream cheese glaze. That is muffin perfection proper right here.

Because the muffins bake, the cinnamon streusel layer types a decadent path of buttery candy cinnamon goodness trailing by way of the center of the tender and fluffy muffin.

These muffins are unimaginable. Not overly candy, they’re great for breakfast…or brunch…or after faculty snack. Or actually anytime.

Tips on how to Retailer the Muffins: the glaze stays tender and doesn’t arrange, so it’s greatest to retailer the muffins in a container with a lid that leaves numerous clearance. They get a bit messy if shoved right into a ziploc bag (ahem, ask me how I do know)…however nonetheless style scrumptious. The muffins might be saved lined at room temperature for a few days. The leftover muffins are fabulous warmed up for about eight half seconds within the microwave earlier than consuming.

Bitter Cream: 1 cup buttermilk might be subbed for the bitter cream and milk within the recipe.
