How to Make Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Muffins: Add the ingredients together, allow the yeast to bloom, whisk in more of the wet ingredients, and allow to rise!Filling: Spread butter around the dough, add the sugar and cinnamon mixture, roll and slice the dough to place in tins, and then place in the preheated oven. Wait until they are golden brown, wait until they cool off, and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes
Milk: Make sure your milk is the correct temperature—if it’s too warm the milk will kill the yeast while if it’s too cold, the yeast won’t bloom. Sugar: Sweetens the dough slightly and helps feed the yeast. Yeast: Makes the dough rise so we have light and fluffy cinnamon rolls. Egg: Binds the dough together and adds richness. Butter: Also adds richness to the dough and enhances the butter flavor in the filling. It also helps the brown sugar stick to the dough in the roll. Vanilla: Enhances the flavor of the cinnamon and brown sugar. Flour: Gives the dough structure so it isn’t too tough or too wet. Cinnamon and Nutmeg: Add a bit of spice and warmth to the filling.
