📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 6 muffin liners and set it aside. Preheat the oven to 425 F/220 C.
2
Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until combined and crumbs form. Spread onto a lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes, then break into pea-sized pieces before using.

3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, egg, sour cream, oil, and vanilla. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until almost combined, with some flour streaks still remaining. Then fold in the cinnamon crumb mixture.

5
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter into each cup of the lined muffin tray. The batter should fill higher than the muffin liner. (see photo in the post for reference) Bake at 425F for ⏱️ 8 minutes, then without opening the oven door, decrease the temperature to 350F/180C and bake for another ⏱️ 10-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs and the tops are golden brown.
6
Let the pan cool on a wire rack for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then carefully remove the muffins from the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter (6 muffins).
7
To make the cream cheese icing, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until smooth. Dunk the tops of the cinnamon roll muffins with the glaze or drizzle it over the top.
