There is something magical about the smell of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven- especially on a weekend morning when you want breakfast to feel special but not complicated. These einkorn flour cinnamon roll muffins give you all the gooey, swirled flavors of a classic cinnamon roll, but in muffin form ( read: no rolling dough, no long rise times, no fuss!) Plus, with the addition of protein-rich Greek yogurt, they’re more filling and balanced than traditional sweet breakfasts. My kids love swirling the cinnamon into the batter, and I love that they bake up in just 20 minutes. Perfect for cozy breakfasts, brunch or even a freezer-friendly option for school mornings. This is the perfect quick breakfast for busy moms- where you feel like you made something a little extra special without a lot of extra work.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line the muffin tins with the liners.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all purpose einkorn flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda and ¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt with a whisk.
Add in 1 large egg, ⅓ cup organic butter (melted), 3 tbsp organic maple syrup, ½ cup organic whole milk, ¼ cup Whole fat Greek yogurt and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
Use a wooden spoon to mix together- about 2 minutes. With einkorn flour you don't want to over mix.
Set aside and in a small bowl mix together ¼ cup organic butter, ¼ organic brown sugar and 2 tsp organic cinnamon with a fork.
Scoop 1 small cookie scoop or 1 tbsp. of the dough into each muffin tin.
Scoop ½ tsp. of the cinnamon mixture on top of each. Use a toothpick and swirl into the dough. Do this for each muffin.
Place another 1 small cookie scoop or 1 tbsp. dough on top.
Place another ½ tsp. of cinnamon mixture on top of the dough and swirl again.
Bake at 350℉ for 18-22 minutes until cooked through.
While the muffins are baking, in a medium bowl whip together 8 oz cream cheese, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp organic butter melted and ¾ cup organic cane sugar
Use a beater to make sure it is well combined, about 2 minutes.
Once the muffins are baked, remove from the oven. If you are serving all of them right away, place 1- 2 tbsp. of the frosting on top. And smear. It will melt in and create a nice glaze.
If you are serving later or freezing for later, wait until the muffins have completely cooled and then place 1-2 tbsp. of the frosting on top.
