Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are a bakery-style treat that combines the flaky, buttery layers of a croissant with the fun muffin shape. Rolled with cinnamon sugar, baked until golden, and coated in a sweet, crunchy finish, they’re a perfect indulgence for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough (or croissant-style dough)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2–3 Tablespoons flour (for rolling)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, pressing seams together to form a smooth sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  4. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Place the second sheet of dough on top and gently press together.
  6. Slice the stacked dough into long strips. Roll each strip into a coil, similar to a cinnamon roll.
  7. Dip each rolled strip into the remaining melted butter, then coat with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  8. Place each roll into a prepared muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Storage

  • Best enjoyed fresh the same day.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Rewarm in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
