Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Muffins

To make these delightful cinnamon roll muffins, you’ll need some simple ingredients that pack a punch of flavor! Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup milk (whole milk works best for richness)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (because we love that warm spice!)

How to Prepare Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Making these cinnamon roll muffins is a breeze! Just follow these easy steps, and you’ll be enjoying fresh-baked goodness in no time. I promise, the smell alone will make your mouth water!

Preheat and Mix Dry Ingredients

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a large bowl and whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This mix is the base for your muffins, so make sure it’s well combined!

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until everything is nicely blended. Don’t rush this part; you want the mixture to be smooth and homogenous. Trust me, it makes a difference in the final texture!

Create the Cinnamon Mixture

Now, in a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. This sweet concoction is what gives the muffins that delicious cinnamon roll flavor, so be generous with it! Make sure it’s mixed well so each muffin gets an even sprinkle.

Assemble and Bake

Here comes the fun part! Fill your muffin cups halfway with the batter, then sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon mixture on top. Finally, add the remaining batter to each cup, covering the cinnamon layer. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with glaze!

Tips for Success with Cinnamon Roll Muffins

To ensure your cinnamon roll muffins turn out perfectly every time, here are my top tips! First, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature—this helps everything blend smoothly. Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are totally okay! Also, filling your muffin cups about two-thirds full allows for that lovely rise. If you want an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon mixture. And remember, letting them cool slightly before glazing will prevent the glaze from melting away. Trust me, these little tweaks will elevate your muffins to the next level!
