Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are a delightful fusion of croissants and muffins, offering a flaky, buttery texture with a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating. Here’s how you can make them at home:

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll each tube of crescent roll dough into a rectangle. If using perforated dough, pinch the seams together to seal.
  3. Add Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over each sheet of dough. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle about ¼ cup of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each buttered dough sheet, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Roll and Cut Dough: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up each dough sheet into a log. Cut each log in half to create two shorter logs, then cut each of those in half lengthwise to reveal the layers, resulting in four sections per sheet.
  5. Shape Cruffins: With the cut sides facing outward, roll each section into a spiral, similar to a cinnamon roll, and tuck the end underneath. Place each rolled piece into the prepared muffin tin.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the cruffins are still warm, roll them in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the cruffins warm or at room temperature.
