Croissant Muffins (Cruffins)
Cruffins are a delicious, fun, and beautiful breakfast bake mashup. A cross between a croissant, muffin, and cinnamon roll, these bakes are flakey, ooey gooey, and soft. Make these the next time you want to share a special morning with family or friends.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 sheets of premade puff pastry dough
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons salted butter

- In a bowl, mix together ¼ cup of dark brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
- Roll out the first puff pastry dough into an 8 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of softened salted butter over the dough.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar.
- Roll up the dough lengthwise into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half, creating two logs.
- Cut each half, lengthwise.
- Roll each section of the dough into a spiral.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes.

- Enjoy!
Notes
If you play around with fillings, make sure not to overfill your dough. You only need a small spread of whatever you add. If you add too much, the filling will ooze out and all over your oven. Also, while these are freshest on the day you bake them, cruffins last for 2-3 days on the counter.
