(12 servings) Printable Version
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg - beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 Tablespoons butter - melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

How To Make Muffin Cup Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing the cups generously with softened butter and dusting them with flour.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and salt. Add the shortening and mix with a fork until the shorting is incorporated and the mixture looks like a fine crumble.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, beaten egg and vanilla.
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and mix with a wooden paddle or sturdy spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the batter clumps together in a ball.
Turn the dough out onto a a floured, flat surface. Sprinkle flour over the dough and kneed by hand 5 or 6 times to form a 6-inch log. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 7-inch by 16-inch rectangle.
Brush the top of the dough with melted butter. Mix the sugar, cinnamon and optional chopped nuts together in a cup and sprinkle mixture evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough - starting at one of the wide ends - into a 16-inch log.
Slice the log into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces and transfer each pieces into a prepared muffin cup.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned.
How To Make Cream Cheese Icing
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 4 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir with a fork or small whisk until it forms a smooth, creamy frosting that drizzles off the fork or whisk in a slow stream. Drizzle icing over cooled cinnamon rolls.
A good old-fashioned cinnamon roll recipe with a delightful twist - the rolls are prepared as individual-serving muffins.

It tasted pretty good at first but after it cooled down, it became stale. Think it's missing some icing...

I am whipping up a batch now. But I think in the recipe instructions you forgot to add the 2/3 cup milk after cutting in the shortening. I also am making them on a regular baking sheet since I haven't any muffin tins.

I love the idea of making these in the muffin cups, although they could also be made just by placing them on a baking sheet. Any good icing recommendations?
