Cinnamon Roll Muffins

By lindsayvk

I really love Cinnamon Roll Muffins, I have a serious weakness for them. But the real ones involve a yeast dough, and basically a cinnamon bun recipe. This version is a hybrid, more muffin then cinnamon bun but still spicy and delicious. Plus, oh so pretty.

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Combine milk and vinegar and set aside. In a bowl stir together brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Mix in egg, vanilla and then milk mixture. Stir in flour to form a dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for a minute until silky.

2. Combine butter, sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Roll or press dough out into a 12 x24″ rectangle. Spread with butter mixture leaving about a centimeter border on every side. Roll up starting from the longer side to make a ~ 24″ log. Cut into 12 1-2″ sections, and put into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes.
