Cinnamon Roll Muffins
You make a batter that goes on the bottom and the top and a pecan-brown sugar filling in between.
Yogurt, cream cheese and powdered sugar makes a delightful frosting. I think a cream cheese frosting would work great too.
Are they the same as cinnamon rolls - not really but they are very good and go together quickly.
After I had made these yummy muffins, I was online looking at some other recipes at the Cooking Light site. I found reviews for the Cinnamon Roll Muffins. Many said they were dry. We did not think that at all. I wonder if using white flour made a difference? That's what I used instead of whole wheat flour(which the recipe called for) - since I was out.
Maybe next time I will try with whole wheat to see if that makes them dry. In the meantime, we are enjoying them. I hope you do too.
