What are Cruffins?
If you’ve never tried Cruffins, get ready to be blown away! They are a cross between a croissant and a muffin. You will go crazy for all the tender layers of a croissant rolled up and cooked in a muffin pan, so these bake up in the shape of a muffin. Cruffins are also similar to cinnamon rolls since the dough is buttered and rolled up with a mix of cinnamon and sugar. They are perfectly sweet, buttery, and over-the-top irresistible! This Cruffins recipe is not only delicious but also SO easy because instead of making the dough from scratch, you use crescent roll sheets from a tube! With just 4 ingredients, these are so simple that even the most beginner of bakers can create this masterpiece of cinnamon sugar deliciousness!
