- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Grease a standard 12-count muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream, milk, and butter. Add the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes a dough. It should be soft and slightly sticky but still able to roll the dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the butter.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 rolls. Arrange the rolls in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until muffins are puffed and the edges are beginning to brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the hot pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add enough cream for a pourable, honey-like consistency.
- Pour the vanilla icing over the warm muffins and serve immediately.
Notes
Storing: Keep the cinnamon roll muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap un-iced if possible, then place them in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze the muffins for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat frozen muffins, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. For refrigerated muffins, bake at 350°F for about 5-8 minutes or until warmed through without overbaking.Add a Note
