Cinnamon Roll Muffins Recipe
Description
This recipe combines classic muffin ingredients with a cinnamon-sugar and walnut streusel that is layered inside the batter, mimicking the swirl of a cinnamon roll. The muffin batter itself is mixed gently to retain moisture and tender texture, using all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
The streusel combines brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and finely chopped walnuts with cold butter cut in to create a crumbly, spiced topping and filling. Adding layers of this mixture before and after portions of muffin batter produces the signature cinnamon roll swirl effect after baking.
Baked at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until golden, these muffins balance sweet, spiced, and nutty flavors with a moist, soft texture. They are well suited to enjoy warm or room temperature. The paper liner and baking method ensure easy removal and clean presentation.
