Description

These Valentine Delicious Cruffins with Cinnamon are a delightful hybrid of croissants and muffins, featuring flaky crescent dough rolled with buttery cinnamon sugar filling. Perfect for a romantic breakfast or a sweet treat, these cruffins are baked until golden, then brushed with butter and coated in cinnamon sugar for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Butter

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (plus extra for brushing)

Cinnamon Sugar Mix

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully seal the perforations to form one large rectangle.
  3. Butter and Sprinkle: Spread the softened unsalted butter evenly over the entire dough surface. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture uniformly across the buttered dough.
  4. Roll and Cut: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut this log lengthwise in half so you have two long sections.
  5. Form Cruffins: Coil each half into a spiral shape and place each coil into the greased muffin cups.
  6. Repeat: Repeat the rolling, cutting, and coiling process with any remaining dough to fill the muffin tin.
  7. Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Finish: While still warm, brush the cruffins with melted butter and generously coat them in additional cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra layer of flavor and sweetness.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cruffins to cool slightly in the muffin tin before serving to ensure they hold their shape and taste delicious warm.

Notes

  • Sealing the crescent dough perforations is crucial to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • You can substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter.
  • Ensure butter is softened for easy spreading.
  • Brush the top with butter immediately after baking while warm for the best cinnamon sugar adherence and shine.
