CINNAMON ROLL CUPCAKES

This recipe is great for a brunch or party. It adds a fun, whimsical twist to your standard cinnamon roll. Feel free to frost them however you’d like. You can use a butter knife for a rustic feel, or transfer your frosting to a piping bag to create designs and swirls.

It’s important to follow the instructions on this recipe for the width and length of the cinnamon roll dough, otherwise your little cupcakes may not fit into their liners. If this happens, you can always unroll your slice a little bit and trim off some of the excess and re-roll.

Ingredients

• Dough
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• Filling
• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Frosting
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup salted butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.
2. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
