Indulge in these flaky and buttery cruffins that combine the best of croissants and muffins. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these treats are easy to make and sure to impress!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Unroll the first tube of crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle. If the dough is perforated, pinch the seams to seal.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough.
  4. Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of this mixture over the buttered dough.
  5. Starting from the shorter side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
  6. Slice the log in half lengthwise with a sharp knife to expose the layers.
  7. With the cut sides facing outward, roll each half into a spiral and place them into the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Repeat steps 2-7 with the remaining two tubes of dough, filling all 12 muffin cups.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the cruffins are still warm, brush them with melted butter and roll them in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  11. Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before serving.
