I had some very fond memories of Cinnamon Rolls when I was younger. See my mom used to make Cinnamon Rolls for my brother and me when we were kids. It was one of my favorite dessert recipes that my mom made. I can still recall even after all the years, the smell of warm cinnamon sugar wafting throughout our home. I can also still very much taste the warm, right out of the oven-baked, gooey sweet cinnamon rolls.

Do you love cinnamon rolls as much as we do? Then, you need to check out this recipe for muffins inspired by good old-fashioned cinnamon rolls.Click to Tweet

So, I have very fond memories of cinnamon rolls at dessert time in my youth.

But that was then, and this is now.

Now, I am the mom. Of course, my kids have my sweet tooth. They are continually looking for a sweet treat for a snack. I enjoy making muffins and cupcakes for this reason.

For this reason, I recently made Cinnamon Roll Muffins. See Cinnamon Rolls inspired this. Plus, I couldn’t resist making muffins with this classic flavor, as well.

What was born here was just amazing. I knew I had to share here.

The muffins part of my recipe is so straightforward to make. I used a simple muffin recipe. But I made sure my cinnamon roll muffins had enough vanilla extract and nutmeg, too.

As for the cinnamon swirl, I used brown sugar, cinnamon (of course) and butter, too.

And what Cinnamon Roll muffins would be complete without a sweet glaze? Well, my Cinnamon Roll Muffins have the perfect glaze with powdered sugar, a bit more vanilla and milk, as well.

Ingredients

MUFFINS:

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

    Hehe, I don’t know about you, but I’d eat all these for breakfast. Hahah. OMG…as soon as I saw the photos, I had to click and read this and…I’m going to try this. I’ll let you know how it goes. Hehe. They look so yummy and delicious, I don’t think I could stop at one…or two…our four. πŸ˜€
    Good for you and creating this recipe! I am impressed. You are so good at this! I also hope you have a wonderful week! Sending hugs. xo

    Oh how I love cinnamon rolls. Unfortunately I am allergic to cinnamon, which I find to be a cruel joke by Nature. πŸ™‚ I’ll pass this on to friends, though, who will love it.

    Wishing you a brilliant Monday, my friend!

    • Janine says

      September 24, 2018 at 9:52 am

      Aw, so sorry to hear and not sure how I’d survive if I were allergic to cinnamon as it really is one of my favorite spices. That said, at least happy you can pass these onto friends if nothing else. Happy Monday once again πŸ˜‰

    Cinnamon rolls are my favorite. Actually, pastries and cakes are my favorite, and of those, cinnamon rolls are always near the top of the list. The whole “scent in the oven” thing is just the best. What a simple and easy recipe to have in your back pocket for those cool mornings when you just want to do something special. I always baked on a snow days as a treat. Will be pinning!

    • Janine says

      September 24, 2018 at 10:13 am

      Aw, mine too (as you couldn’t tell)! And love the scent wafting out of the oven. Plus, snow day baking is the best, too! Thanks for pinning, as well πŸ™‚

    This is a recipe I’ll be using on a chilly, and maybe snowy, winter day! I can smell them already! But I may try making them sooner since they look so good! Thanks. xxoo

    They’re so pretty! I’m not usually one for cinnamon rolls because of the size, but these look perfectly palatable. Count me in! I can imagine them with pumpkin coffee.

    • Janine says

      September 25, 2018 at 9:28 am

      I love the idea of these with a nice mug of pumpkin spice coffee. Sounds perfect to me, too πŸ™‚
