The ever popular Cinnamon Rolls made easily in cupcake form ! So quick and easy (no swirling of the batter)
When I found this recipe for Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes, I could not wait to bake a batch. Very simple, a cupcake but with the texture and taste of a cinnamon roll! The original recipe contains Pecan Nuts as well, but I left it out.

At first, I just wanted to top the cupcakes with a glaze (as with everyday cinnamon rolls). But then thought, for this one time, I’ll stick to the recipe.

The frosting did turn out to be creamy, but sweet as you can get. Next batch, oh yes, there will be more of these in our house! … I will try the cupcake with an ordinary icing glaze.
