"cinnamon roll cupcakes" news and stories

The wafting smell of breakfast pastries baking in the oven is one of life's simplest pleasures – especially if that heavenly aroma is cinnamon-scented.

But why limit decadently gooey cinnamon rolls to the morning? The blog frites & fries offers up a solution -- all the flavors of a soft, chewy cinnamon roll infused into a cupcake.

The batter is a revised version of a butter cake recipe from Gourmet -- with the addition of cinnamon and golden brown sugar. After the cupcakes are baked, each is topped with a small dab of cream cheese frosting and a bite-sized chunk of cinnamon roll (sprinkles are so passé).

And if you want to eat these traditionally dessert-time treats for breakfast, we won't judge.
