Ingredients
Muffins:
- 17.05 ounces refrigerated cinnamon rolls (1 can)
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
Icing:
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted if lumpy
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 7 cups of a muffin tin, set aside.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into 8 or 9 pieces (if they start to fall apart a little that’s OK. Just press them back together). Divide the pieces between 7 muffin cups, pressing the pieces together as you place them in.
- In a small saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of milk to a boil. Stir until smooth and combined. Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over each of the muffins.
- Place muffins in preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffed up and cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare the icing (see below).
- Cool the muffins just slightly before carefully removing from the pan. I run a knife around the outside of each one to help them come out of the pan easier. Drizzle or pour cream cheese icing over the top of each muffin.
Cup of Yum
Icing:
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or powdered sugar, if necessary, to reach your desired consistency.
