Cinnamon Roll Muffins

I think that Sam and I would agree that these muffins were the yummiest things we have made yet. They are as gooey, cinnamon-y delicious as they look in the picture.

Every time I walked into the kitchen, there was one more muffin gone. Between Sam, Derek and I these muffins lasted two days and I am ashamed to say they made ALOT.

These will definitely be a regular menu item!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 24 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.

  • In a large bowl, beat cake mix, 1 cup milk, the softened butter, and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Gently stir half of the mixture into the batter in a large bowl. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
