Weekend Cooking: Cinnamon Roll Muffins

One Saturday morning, I woke up craving cinnamon rolls. But I've never made cinnamon rolls. I'm not a baker. My cookies don't alway turn out right. I still use mixes for cakes and brownies. How hard would cinnamon rolls could be?
Apparently, hard. I would need yeast. Yeah, I don't have yeast. Yet still craving cinnamon rolls. A quick internet search led me to these Cinnamon Roll Muffins.
Being a novice baker, I rolled the dough to thick. But it still was delicious. I'll attempt cinnamon rolls sometime but I would gain more experience rolling dough and working with yeast. Until then these muffins are a great substitute. The glaze was excellent.

  2. I used to make cinnamon rolls now and then when my kids were young. I remember using a recipe that allowed you to make the recipe up one day and then make the actual rolls the next day.

    Have a good week. I linked in a salmon pizza to Weekend Cooking.

  4. Good on you for trying a new recipe. i have made cinnamon rolls a few times, my only complaint is that they never seem to make enough. Once I start eating them I always want more.

  5. I love making cinnamon rolls but these look like a great quick substitute. I bet I try them before too long.

  6. Wow! I wouldn't have guessed those were muffins if you hadn't said so -- they're beautiful.

    Cinnamon rolls are one of the easier yeast recipes since you don't need to get a whole lot of rise out of them and, like Deb said, you can make them the night before and bake them in the morning.

  8. If you were rolling out dough, you were doing much better than I typically do! :) They look delicious!

  9. They look yummy! I'm not much of a baker usually either. And rolling out dough is not something I'm good at.
