Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups
1️⃣ Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each cup, filling about ⅓ of the way.
2️⃣ Add a teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
3️⃣ Cover with another spoonful of batter, filling the cups about ¾ full.
4️⃣ Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Step 5: Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Make the Glaze
While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze:
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2️⃣ If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner drizzle, add a little more milk.
Step 7: Drizzle & Enjoy!
1️⃣ Once the muffins are done, let them cool for 5–10 minutes.
2️⃣ Drizzle the glaze over the muffins while they are still slightly warm.
3️⃣ Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, cinnamon-infused goodness!
Bonus Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll Muffins
✔ Don’t overmix the batter – This keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
✔ Let the muffins cool slightly before glazing – So the icing doesn’t melt completely.
✔ Want extra gooeyness? – Add a little cream cheese to the glaze for a richer topping.
✔ Make them ahead of time – Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
