{no yeast, one bowl} Cinnamon Roll Muffins

I have been dyyyyying to share these cinnamon roll muffins with you all! Call me weird, a nerd, obsessed or whatever you want but I seriously get so excited when a recipe turns out. I’ve been on a recipe high since making these the first time. Cinnamon rolls have always been a weak area for me. I have yet to find a recipe that is worth all the time they take to make…….. and all the calories to eat them 🙂

But, I think I have finally found the recipe of all recipes with these {no yeast, one bowl} cinnamon roll muffins.

On a whim, while my husband was home with us one morning, I decided to make these no yeast cinnamon roll muffins. I was blown away! The dough is a simple quick bread and then you roll it out, spread with butter and sugar, roll up and slice. Just like traditional cinnamon rolls but way easier and no patiently nervously waiting for dough to rise 3 times!

I had to give these things away, fast! I knew after having 1 that if they were left in my kitchen then I would probably have no self control around them 🙂 So, I saved one for each of my kids and sent the rest with my husband to work. Luckily, my youngest daughter only ate like 1/4 of hers so I was able to have a little bit more 🙂

Ingredients

• cinnamon rolls
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3 cups flour + about 1/3 cup for dusting
• filling
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• glaze
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4-6 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Combine brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until combined. Add butter milk and whisk until smooth and combined.
3. Add in flour and stir with a wooden spoon, or spatula, until dough comes together and starts to somewhat form it's own ball. Dough will be thick. Do not over mix. Stop once the flour is combined into the dough.
4. Sprinkle additional 1/3 cup (or less) flour on the counter top. Knead for 2 minutes. You may have to sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and your hands to help prevent sticking.
