Cinnamon Cruffins
Cinnamon Cruffins are a simple version of homemade cinnamon rolls, made with crescent roll dough, raisins, and sugar; baked in a muffin tin. Makes 12 rolls.
Ingredients
- 2 8 oz cans crescent rolls, dough
- 3 Tbsp butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ tsp cardamom
- ½ cup raisins
- 2-3 Tbsp flour for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin baking tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Open both cans of croissants. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each tube of dough to a 12 x 16-inch rectangle, until the perforated seam is gone.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- Spread a small amount of the melted butter on each sheet of dough.
- Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Sprinkle with the ½ cup of raisins (even distribute if you can).
- Top with the second layer of croissant dough.
- Slice the dough into long strips. Roll each strip up, similar to a cinnamon roll.
- Dip each roll into the remaining butter and cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place each roll in a prepared muffin tin (there will be 12).
- Drizzle any remaining butter of the rolls.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes in preheated oven until golden brown.
- Remove rolls from the oven and immediately roll each cruffin in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
