Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 cans cinnamon roll 8 count size, refrigerated
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
Icing
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 TBS milk
Instructions
Muffins
- Prepare the oven by placing a sheet of foil or a large baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch drippings, then preheat it to 375°F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to a large ziplock bag, close, and shake to combine well.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls out and cut each one into 6 equal pieces, add pieces to the ziplock bag. Shake gently to coat all pieces with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place 8 pieces of coated dough into each muffin cup and press gently into cups.
Glaze
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil.
- Pour melted butter mixture over each muffin then bake for 14-16 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp. It's likely they will bubble over the edges so make sure you've put something under it to catch the overflow.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5-8 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and gently lift the muffins out of the pan and place on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Icing
- Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add the vanilla and mix again.
- Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until it is all smooth and creamy.
- Add just enough milk to get a good consistency to drizzle the icing.
- Drizzle the icing over the muffins and serve!
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or just eat at room temperature.
- Make sure the muffins have cooled sufficiently before adding the icing on top. If the muffins are too warm, the icing will just slide right off.
- Be gentle when taking the muffins out of the muffin tins to cool. They sometimes want to fall apart if you’re not gentle.
- Make these an even cuter dessert by serving in colorful cupcake liners – also a great way to keep them together if they do seem like they might fall apart!
