Cinnamon roll cupcakes
I made this recipe and we all totally loved it ! Those cupcakes totally taste like a cinnamon roll !
Ingredients :
- 1/3 cup organic butter
- 1 organic egg
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose organic flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup organic brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup organic whole milk
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Preheat oven to 350 F.
Bring butter and eggs to room temperature. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until combined. Add egg and vanilla. Add flour in three portions, alternating with milk (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour).
Add 1 tbsp batter to the paper liners. Add 1 tsp cinnamon mixture to the cups. Add remaining batter to the muffin cups (about 2 tbsp each). Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
Bake cupcakes for 20-22 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out with just crumbs clinging). Let cool on a wire rack for ten minutes then remove from the baking pan. Allow to cool to room temperature before frosting.
For the frosting, I used a basic cream cheese frosting (butter,cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla).
This is a very easy recipe that can be done quickly. I made a batch and now my kitchen smells like a cinnabon store 🙂
Sprinkled with cinnamon for decoration...
My son wanted to try frost his own cupcake, i turned my back 5 seconds and this is what he did :
“But mommy those are frosting claws” – what do you answer to that ?
Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here !
Oh, specialty bakeries, you are so Toast! A cupcake that tastes like a cinnamon roll? I’m THERE! Can I have Frosting Claws too?!
