Are you looking for a cinnamon roll?
Maybe a croissant?
How about a muffin?
Meet the cinnamon roll cruffin
And she is SO good
What you need
Cinnamon Roll Cruffins
1 sheet puff pastry
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temp
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
4 tsp heavy whipping cream, room temp
Cream Cheese Glaze
2oz cream cheese, softened
1tbsp milk, room temp
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
What to do
1. Follow puff pastry thawing instructions. I usually leave my pastry out on the counter for about 1 hour, so it is soft enough to roll out. In a medium size bowl mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until the mix becomes a smooth paste (*see note below).
2. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter (*see note below).
3. On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling from edge to edge. Cut pastry into 8-9 strips. Roll each strip up like a rug, then place in greased muffin pan. Pour 1/2 tsp of heavy whipping cream on each roll.
4. Bake for 30-33 minutes. After 5 minutes of cooling, using a butter knife, remove cruffins from pan.
5. For the cream cheese glaze, mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth (*see note below)
6. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over the warm cruffins. Serve cruffins warm!
Helpful tips
Here are some important Pro tips by Maude
Make sure to follow the thawing instructions on the puff pastry packaging. You don’t want to try rolling out frozen puff pastry!
If the ingredient is listed as *room temp* really strive for room temperature. It’s critical because, you don’t want a lumpy filling or glaze. Plan ahead of time and place your ingredients at room temp (about 1-2 hours, depending on kitchen temperature).
Before placing your cruffins in the muffin pan, really grease the sides and bottoms of the muffin pan. This filling can become sticky and you want the pan to be nice and greasy before baking.
