Y’all — I did a thing.
I made something magical that you have GOT to recreate asap…
Vegan cinnamon roll muffins (!!!)
I made these super easy and delicious muffins after work last week and they left the apartment smelling like heaven. Pretty much anytime cinnamon sugar is involved you can count me in! If you feel the same you’ll def want to check out my Bananadoodles.. aka vegan and gluten-free snickerdoodles.
Whenever I’m about to start baking I have the hardest time deciding what form of baked-good I want. If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen me run a million polls asking for ideas or suggestions.
Do I want muffins? Cookies? Brownies? Peanut butter cookie dough cups!? There are so many options to choose from that for this recipe I just decided to combine two of my favorites: cinnamon rolls AND muffins.
After all, who doesn’t love cinnamon rolls? My only issue with them is how messy they can get. I figured turning them into muffin form would allow me to enjoy this delicious sweet treat without the mess!
And boyyyy was I right 🙂
I made these vegan cinnamon muffins using:
- maple syrup and coconut sugar instead of honey
- apple sauce, bananas and coconut oil to keep it moist
- and part whole wheat flour to keep them on the healthier side
What you need for these Vegan Cinnamon Muffins:
- Ripe Bananas
- Coconut Oil
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Whole wheat flour
- All-purpose flour
- Cinnamon
- Baking powder
How to make the cinnamon swirl for your muffins:
- Unsweetened applesauce
- Coconut sugar

- Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes.
I tried these but they remained raw in the middle. I kept adding minutes until the cooking time was probably doubled and they still didn’t cook in the middle! Any suggestions?
Hmm! Did you make any swaps or double-check to make sure the measurements were right? Those would be my only guesses! Or if your muffin pan was too full. I’m sorry this happened!
try a higher oven temp or preheating longer of maybe adding extra dry ingredients i live where its very humid and it kills my baked goods 1/2 the time these tips work for me so i normally make a small test batch of 2 muffins the first time to see how the barometric pressure is treating me that day
