These delicious cruffins combine the flaky, buttery texture of croissants with the sweet cinnamon-sugar flavor of muffins. Made with refrigerated crescent roll dough, they are easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Rolled, layered, baked, and coated in cinnamon sugar, they offer a delightful treat with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll one tube of crescent roll dough into a rectangle. If the dough has perforations, pinch the seams together to seal them and create one solid sheet.
  3. Butter and Sugar: Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  4. Roll and Cut: Starting from the shorter side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log in half lengthwise to reveal the layered interior. With the cut sides facing outward, roll each half into a spiral shape and carefully place each spiral into a prepared muffin cup.
  5. Repeat for Remaining Dough: Repeat the buttering, sugar sprinkling, rolling, cutting, and spiraling process with the remaining two tubes of crescent roll dough, filling all 12 muffin cups in your tin.
  6. Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
  7. Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar: While the cruffins are still warm, brush each one with melted butter. Then, generously roll them in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated, adding extra sweetness and flavor.
  8. Serve: Allow the cruffins to cool slightly in the pan before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to pinch the perforated seams together to avoid spreading during baking.
  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the cruffins with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar once more after baking.
  • If you prefer, experiment by adding a filling like cream cheese or chocolate before rolling the dough.
  • Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
