Cinnamon Roll Muffins are a fun twist on the traditional cinnamon roll and there is no yeast involved!
Be sure and watch the video below on how to make the muffins.
I often get emails from people who are afraid of yeast. I even wrote a post to give them a little help and encouragement with working with yeast.
But I get it, some people just don’t get along with yeast and I can respect that. So, if you are a fan of cinnamon rolls but avoid yeast like the plague this Cinnamon Roll Muffin recipe is for you! You can get all the cinnamony goodness of a cinnamon roll without the yeast.
For those who are allergic to yeast, these are the perfect solution to any cinnamon roll craving you might have.
The other upside to these cinnamon roll muffins is that they come together a lot quicker than regular cinnamon rolls do, you don’t have to let the dough rise! So next time you get a hankering for some cinnamon rolls and don’t have the time or inclination to deal with yeast give this muffin version a try.
And don’t forget the frosting!

These muffins are very good. The cinnamon topping adds interest to what otherwise would be a bland muffin, and makes an excellent topping. I added vanilla, orange zest and nutmeg to the batter, and chopped toasted pecans to the topping, but these changes wouldn’t have altered the structure of the muffins. I also added cream cheese to the frosting. They look great. The crumb is a bit dense and coarse, but moist. Warming them makes the crumb soft and tender.

Caroline Baker says

Tried this recipe came out good. My topping didn’t come out as crumbly as in the video. I used margarine as I didn’t have butter on hand does should it be butter for this recipe? Thank you. Other than that they tasted delicious.
