Description

These Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins combine the flakiness of croissants, the shape of muffins, and the sweetness of cinnamon rolls in one irresistible pastry. Made with just four ingredients, they are quick, easy, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tubes refrigerated crescent roll sheets
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Roll out crescent dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle and spread with 2 tbsp butter.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle ¼ cup over the dough.
  • Roll up the dough into a tight log, slice in half, then cut each half lengthwise.
  • Roll each piece into a spiral and place in the muffin tin.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Roll warm cruffins in remaining cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness.
