Ingredients

Wet ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
Cinnamon sugar mix:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cups Crushed nuts (optional)
Glaze
  • Homemade Caramel Sauce
  • Cream cheese icing

Notes

  • Chopped nuts are optional, but they add a nice crunch to the cinnamon streusel mix. I recommend pecans, almonds or walnuts! 
  • Do not overmix the batter or your cinnamon rolls muffins won't end up as light and fluffy as they could. 
  • For the ultimate cinnamon roll experience, glaze the muffins with the icing while still warm and enjoy them immediately!
