Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Cinnamon Roll Muffins are perfect on a cold day. The cinnamon sugar gives a warm and cozy feel and the cream cheese icing dripping down the sides sweeten each muffin to perfection. Such a moist muffin recipe that can be made as jumbo muffins, normal size, or minis.

Cinnamon Roll Muffins with icing on top

Muffins are a huge hit at our house and everyone has different favorites. They are especially popular for breakfast on the weekends. I prefer my muffins with a cup of black coffee while my husband prefers his with a glass of cold milk.

I think when you eat a muffin for breakfast you feel like you are doing something forbidden. They are super sweet and fun. They are almost like eating a cupcake for breakfast, especially when they have a drizzle of glaze or icing! Oh my!

Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Sydney spearheads our cinnamon recipes. So when she came across this recipe for these Cinnamon Roll Muffins from Some The Wiser, she just had to tweak it a little for her taste buds and give it a try. Thanks so much for the inspiration for this recipe Some The Wiser!

Optional Ingredients

You could easily add raisins, cinnamon chips, or nuts to this recipe if you like a little chewiness or extra crunch in your muffins. For this particular recipe we left all the extra goodies out. We wanted the focus to be on the crunchy topping and the delicious cream cheese icing. By the way, this icing is pure heaven! We are always fans of a great cream cheese icing!

Recipe Tips

The cream cheese for the icing needs to be softened, so just set it out an hour or two before starting this recipe.

For this recipe, we used a jumbo muffin pan. This type of pan only makes six muffins. All of the baking time is adapted to this type of muffin pan. If you are using a normal muffin pan (one that makes twelve muffins), you will need to bake them less.

To get bakery style muffins we always bake our muffins at 400 degrees F for the first five minutes and then we turn the oven down to 375 degrees F for the remainder of the baking time.

Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 14 mins
Total Time 34 mins
Course Breakfast, Brunch
Servings 1 dozen

Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 extra large egg
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter melted

Topping

  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the muffins at this temperature for the first 5 minutes. Then decrease the temperature to 375 degrees F for the remainder of the baking time. Add paper liners to a muffin tin.
  • Using a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Using a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and, melted butter. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • Get the large bowl of dry ingredients that was set aside earlier. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients (from the medium bowl that was set aside earlier) into the center well of the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  • Combine all of the topping ingredients into a small bowl. Fold half of this mixture into the muffin batter mixture.
  • Fill the paper muffin liners about 3/4 full with the muffin batter mixture. Top each with the remaining topping mixture. *Note: This batter rises quite a bit, so do not overfill your liners.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for the first 5 minutes. Then decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees F for the remainder of the baking time (9-11 minutes). They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin is clean. Transfer immediately to a wire rack to cool.
  • Once the muffins are cool, whisk together the icing ingredients. Drizzle the icing over the tops of the muffins.

Notes

We used a jumbo size muffin pan (makes six muffins).  If you are using a normal muffin pan (makes twelve muffins), you will have to deduct some baking time to suit your smaller muffins.

Icing or No Icing?

If you are not a fan of icing, you can leave the tops plain. If you are like us you may have some icing lovers and some who would prefer them plain. Make them half and half like we did! If you are only going to drizzle icing on half of the muffins you can cut the icing ingredients in half.

This Cinnamon Roll Muffin recipe is going to be a staple around our house for years to come. We all fell in love with these delicious muffins!

Are you a muffin lover? If so, check out some of our other muffin favorites:

  • Applesauce Muffins
  • Cream Cheese Lemon Streusel Muffins
  • Bakery Style Muffins…From A Box!

This recipe is just so fun to make. From making the crumb topping to drizzling on the icing, it just makes you feel good to make these. It makes others feel good to eat them, too!

We hope you enjoyed this Cinnamon Roll Muffin recipe. Have an amazing day everyone!
