Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well mixed.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually alternate adding the dry mixture and sour cream to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the whole milk to your batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon with melted butter to form a thick paste.
- Fill cupcake liners about one-third full with batter, add a spoonful of cinnamon mixture, and swirl gently.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes before serving.

Notes
Customize your cupcakes with cream cheese frosting or nuts for added crunch. Ensure proper cooling before glazing to prevent melting.
