Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Description
These simple muffins taste just like cinnamon rolls, with a sweet cinnamon-raisin batter and a sugary glaze drizzled on top.
Ingredients
•
1 cup water
•
1/2 cup raisins
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
2 large eggs
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
•
1/4 cup powdered sugar
•
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon milk, or more as needed
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
2
Combine raisins and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
3
Stir flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
4
Stir melted butter into the raisin-water mixture, then add eggs and mix until well beaten. Pour into the well in the flour mixture; mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened and lumpy; do not beat. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar and vanilla for glaze in a bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon milk, adding more if necessary, until thin enough to drizzle.
7
Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins.
