Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: cinnamon, cinnamon roll, muffin, muffins

Ok so you might be thinking, is cinnamon the only thing she bakes? No, it is not! But it is my husband’s favorite 🙂 With that said I wanted to bake something that he would want. After searching for days, I finally decided on this yummy recipe for cinnamon roll muffins. I love cinnamon rolls, oh how I do, and you know that I love muffins! Well I started making the recipe (like I tend to do sometimes) and I didn’t check to see if I had all the ingredients, no eggs! Insistent that this would not ruin my baking, I continued on without them.

I admit, I was skeptical about the whole no egg thing, but they were delicious! So if you are feeling like you could go for some cinnamon rolls, then you should probably get up right now and go make these muffins. Don’t worry they are easy, and pretty quick too. Here is the recipe, the original one. If you don’t have any eggs either, then just leave it out and add a 1/4 c of water like I did. Oh and I didn’t use the cardamom either, because I definitely didn’t have any of that, enjoy and happy baking!
