These soft, gooey bites capture the cozy flavors of cinnamon rolls in a poppable form, perfect for brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for rolling)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
- Whisk together the sourdough discard, yogurt, egg, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. You want a soft, scoopable dough.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll them lightly in melted butter, then toss them in the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Place the dough balls into your muffin cups.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until they’re golden and puffed up.
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients while they cool and drizzle it over those warm bites.
Notes
For best texture, use unfed discard. Don’t overmix the dough—lumps are fine. Try adding nutmeg for brightness.
