Description
Delicious Cinnamon Roll Cruffins combine flaky croissant pastry with gooey cinnamon-sugar filling and a luscious cream cheese glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons whole milk, as needed for consistency
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each crescent sheet to approximately 12 x 16 inches.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a smooth paste.
- Spread 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture evenly over each sheet of crescent dough.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll each sheet into a log.
- Cut each log in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise to create four pieces per log (12 total).
- With the cut layered side facing out, roll each section into a tight swirl and place them into your prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the cruffins are baking, make the glaze by beating cream cheese until smooth, then adding confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla.
- Coat the warm cruffins with the glaze and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Serve with coffee or tea for a perfect breakfast or brunch treat. They can also be served with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
