Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Here is the perfect copycat recipe in a cinnamon roll made in cupcake tins for those on the go and who are big fans of the famous Cinnabon Rolls that use to be sold in malls.

One of the best smells to me is cinnamon in the house. These muffin rolls make your mouth water before they even come out of the oven.

During the holiday, I always make them all dressed up with a cherry on top and tinted green sliced almonds or pistachios. They look so pretty on the table at Christmastime.

My kids love cinnamon rolls. These rolls reminded them of a famous roll in the mall we would get.

Every time I make them they are so excited to dig in.

They are delicious any time of the day and being made in a cupcake tin makes them portable to take along to work or on the go!

Yeast Rolls

These copycat Cinnabon are a yeast-risen roll, so if you are in a hurry, this isn't the recipe for you.


They really are a delicious light and airy sweet roll that brings back that delicious old-fashioned flavors how my grandmother made cinnamon buns except she put raisins in the filling and no frosting.


A great little treat that you can take on road trips, to work, or pack in school lunches.


If you are on the go, these also freeze well and just thaw one overnight to be ready to take with you the next day.
