Who loves cinnamon rolls? I do! I’ve been known to eat a whole pan. Not that I condone that sort of behavior! I realized that I hadn’t baked any cupcakes in a long time and as I was humming and hawing over what flavor I was craving, I saw a tube of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in the fridge (yes, I cheat sometimes!) and my mind was made up!
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 3/4 Cup Milk
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Cinnamon Swirl
- 3 Tsp Butter Melted
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 Tsp Milk Add as needed, not all at once
Instructions
Cupcakes
- Heat oven to 350F (180C)
- Line cupcake tin with paper cases
- Whisk egg and sugar together until well combined
- Add flour, nutmeg, baking powder, vanilla, vegetable oil and milk (all remaining ingredients) and combine
- Partly fill cases with batter
Cinnamon Swirl
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter
- Add a drop of your mixture to each case and swirl with a toothpick. Do not combine fully. Set remaining mixture aside for later
- Add remaining batter to each case. Each one should be around 2/3 full
- Melt remainder of cinnamon mixture if it has begun to harden. Put it in a small jug or something with a lip. Pour a small amount into each case in a swirl shape
- Bake cupcakes for approximately 20 minutes or until you have a clean toothpick
Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar with vanilla and slowly add in milk, ensuring not to flood the mixture
- The mixture needs to be thick enough to not pour all over the sides of the cupcakes but not too thick that you cannot pour correctly
- Drizzle glaze over cupcakes when thoroughly cooled
Have you made any Cinnamon Roll variations?

Oh my, I want these so much now! I’ve been craving cinnamon rolls and I ended up buying a coffee blend that is supposed to taste like one! It doesn’t really… but it’s still good coffee. 🙂 I’m absolutely making these when we get all settled in the new house next weekend!
