Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 cans (17.5 ounces each) Grands™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
Icing
- 4 ounces (½ package) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup (83 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk, or more as needed for desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Remove cinnamon rolls from the cans and separate the dough. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 pieces (wedges) for a total of 80 pieces. Divide the pieces evenly between the prepared muffin cups (6-7 per cup), pressing them slightly into place.
- In a small bowl combine brown sugar and melted butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over each muffin cup.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until muffins are puffed and golden brown. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan slightly while you prepare the glaze.
Glaze
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Stir in the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons of whole milk, adding more milk as needed to achieve a smooth, pourable glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
