I really love Cinnamon Roll Muffins, I have a serious weakness for them. But the real ones involve a yeast dough, and basically a cinnamon bun recipe. This version is a hybrid, more muffin then cinnamon bun but still spicy and delicious. Plus, oh so pretty.
Cinnamon Roll Muffin Recipe
(makes a dozen)
Adapted from Ruby Glen
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
3 1/2 cups flour
4 tablespoons soft butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375F. Combine milk and vinegar and set aside. In a bowl stir together brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Mix in egg, vanilla and then milk mixture. Stir in flour to form a dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for a minute until silky.
Combine butter, sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Roll or press dough out into a 12 x24″ rectangle. Spread with butter mixture leaving about a centimeter border on every side. Roll up starting from the longer side to make a ~ 24″ log. Cut into 12 1-2″ sections, and put into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes.

Originally started as a way to document and learn to cook, the site chronicles my journey as I learn a few new things, create recipes, and have a disaster or two.
those definitely are wicked pretty! i can never get the cinnamon to swirl like that though.
Ah, fabulous. Just recently I was thinking about how great cinnamon rolls are and how I would never make them because they are too much work. But I think I could muster up the energy for these. Nice job!
These are too cute! And any cinnamon-roll-ish recipe is always welcome!
Got big plans to make these this weekend! Thanks for the great idea!
