Man oh maaaaaan, guys…All I can say is I desperately hope that you’re in a brunchin’-kinda mood today.

I mean, it’s Friday, so who isn’t??

So can we talk about the kind of things I crave practically 24/7 in the breakfast department? Muffins, cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls, muffins.

I’ll take ’em both in either order. 😉

Clearly, you can see exactly how I’m taking them both now’adays: Jammed into ONE killer breakfast. I’m obviously a pro at this by now…

And thus…cinnamon roll muffins were henceforth BORN. 

Sidenote: Is there seriously anything I won’t taint with cinnamon rolls?? So far we’ve touched on oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, and now muffins. What could possibly be next??

I’ll get back to you on that one in a few weeks. 😉

My family could not stop raving and ranting about these muffins. Putting all the automatically-winning glaze and chocolate aside, what they loved most was how from the OUTSIDE, these muffins looked like any ordinary glazed chocolate chip muffin…

…but the INSIDE. That’s obviously what really counts. That first bite takes you on a one-way trip to ooey-gooey cinnamon roll land!

Like whoaaaaa, they said. I did not see that coming!

I just say  It’s muffin MAGIC, guys.” 

*nod, nod, chew, chew*

Not gonna lie to you guys, these muffins are pure bakery-style perfection. They’re seriously SO pretty to look at, they’re ginooooormous (!!) and just really, really, REALLY good.

Like so soft and moist inside, you may cry. And combined with that gooey cinnamon roll filling we all know and love PLUS chocolate PLUS glaze? Get ready for the waterworks.

Yes. All the yes to all of the above we just spoke of.

Sarah’s Top Tip: If you’re looking to create even more of a bakery-style impression with these muffins, drizzle your glaze in a pretty criss-cross pattern!

Psssst…that also = more glaze crowning each muffin. (fist pump!)

And just like that MY heart is won. â™¥

You wanna know how every weekend can be automatically made? These muffins. No, really. Your Saturday morning is going to be the TOPS.

Cinnamon rolls easy-fied, muffin-fied and covered in glaze could really be nothing less than a SCORE. A slam-dunk in the category of weekend breakfast.

    These look amazing!!! But, I can’t have wheat or almonds so those flours are out for me. What do you suggest for the flour? I have coconut flour and King Arthur gluten free flour.
    Thanks so much

      Hi Jill! I would recommend using the gluten-free type of flour in these muffins — just make sure you watch the consistency of the muffin batter—it should be fairly thick. 🙂 Let me know how the muffins turn out!
