Description
Delicious cinnamon roll muffins topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2–3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4–6 tablespoons heavy cream (less if you use regular milk)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and egg. Stir with a whisk to combine together. Add the buttermilk, and whisk together until combined.
- Start with 2 cups of flour and add it into the wet mixture. Stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add more flour, in 1/4 cup increments, until the dough forms a “ball” on its own and it’s not sticking to the sides of the bowl. I end up using about 2 1/3 cups of flour when I make these.
- Lightly spray a countertop (or very large cutting board) with cooking spray and sprinkle some additional flour over top (about 1/4 cup). Dump the dough onto the counter and knead it for 1-2 minutes. If needed add more flour if the dough is way too sticky and unmanageable.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. About the size of a cookie sheet 12″x18″. Spread softened butter over the dough (this is easiest to do with your hands). In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and then sprinkle evenly over the butter.
- Starting at the long end, roll it up into a tight “log”. Cut the log in half, and then cut each half into 6 equal slices. Place one cinnamon roll slice into each muffin cup.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes. You do not want the muffins to be overly browned. They should really not have much color to them at all.
- Stir together the powdered sugar and heavy cream to make the glaze, and then drizzle over the warm cinnamon roll muffins.
