It’s my beautiful mom’s birthday today (herzlichen Glückwunsch, Mama!)!
To celebrate her special day, I tried to make one of her favorite American treats (which we can’t get over here): cinnamon rolls. I didn’t have time to bake the yeasty version though. So, I consulted my good friend Google and found a no-yeast easy-to-make cinnamon roll muffins recipe.
Unfortunately they didn’t rise as much as I would have liked them to (and stayed a little dense), so I might try and modify the recipe a little next time I bake the cinnamon roll muffins.
They still tasted pretty delicious and were liked by all birthday guests at my mom’s house. ;)
What you’ll need (recipe source):
for the muffins
for the muffins
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour
for the filling
- 2 tbsp. butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
for the icing
- 1–2 tbsp. milk or cream.
- 1 cup powdered sugar
How to (directions source):
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Measure the brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla and egg into a mixing bowl.
- Add the Buttermilk. Add the flour. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or two.
- Roll the dough into a 12-inch by 24-inch rectangle.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread with butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough into a log and stretch slightly.
- Cut into two-inch pieces and put the pieces into greased muffin tins of muffin tins lined with cupcake papers.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from the muffin tins.
- Drizzle with icing when cool.
I’m partying here! ♥
