Gluten-free & Dairy-free Cinnamon Roll Muffins
These cinnamon roll muffins are gluten-free, dairy-free, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 1 egg
- splash of vanilla extract
- ¼ cup nondairy butter melted
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup nondairy milk I used oat milk!
- 1 ½ cup gluten-free flour
For the cinnamon swirl:
- ¼ cup coconut sugar can sub brown sugar
- ¼ cup nondairy butter softened
- ½ tablespoon gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake/muffin liners. Mix all of the muffin ingredients until well combined and scoop into the muffin liners.
- Cream together the cinnamon swirl ingredients using a hand mixer. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon butter mixture onto each muffin and use a toothpick to swirl it into the dough.
- Bake for about 22-23 min. Mix up the glaze and drizzle over the tops of the muffins. Enjoy!

I followed the directions, but the muffins did not bake up very appealing at all. They are not browned (more of an off-white color) and the swirl is simply globs of melted butter/cinnamon holes in the muffins. I baked appropriately, and the toothpick was clean, but the texture was dense and moist. There must be something missing from this recipe - a leavening agent? Unfortunately, I will not be keeping this recipe.
