Cinnamon Roll Cupcake Recipe
I have been on a baking spree. I started with my Almond Joy Brownie Bites, and now I just finished these delicious cinnamon roll cupcakes.

The Recipe is Simple
This is a very simple recipe – you can use a box mix like I did, or make everything from scratch if you'd like. It's completely up to you! If you want to add more cinnamon, or take some away, that's fine! Make it your own… have fun. These cupcakes are delicious.
