Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes
The ever popular Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes made easily in this way ! So quick and easy, especially with 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.
This is, I think a recipe which comes in handy when you suddenly get a craving for cinnamon rolls, but is too time stricken to make the real thing. Try it next time and see what you think!
