This Cinnabon recipe is something you must try. I considered how much money I could save by making these rolls myself the first time I made them.

The recipe was very thick. I added another cup of milk. Muffins were very light and fluffy. They were bland though. I would add another apple, more cinnamon and vanilla the next time I try them.
Morgan Benton
I absolutely love this! I added two teaspoons of extra cinnamon and added a teaspoon of pumpkin spice. Then I chopped 4 green apples and stirred them in cinnamon sugar. I also substituted butter with applesauce. I will definitely make this again.

Sad but they turned out like lead balls We laughed but they were horrible. nothing was missed. Very disappointing
Cynthia Farrell
These were quite bland. I used the recipe as written. One reviewer said it was a diabetic-friendly recipe, which I did not realize until I had the batter in the muffin tin. Trying to add a bit more flavor, I sprinkled some cinnamon-sugar on the top before I baked them, but it didn’t help much. I think it would be helpful to have a very flavorful apple and to add more spices to the batter. The texture was a cross between a muffin and a fluffy biscuit – not terrible, but not a typical muffin. Definitely not what I was looking for.

i love this recipe so much!!!!!!

As others have mentioned, the muffins were a bit bland, I will use more sugar, cinnamon, and apple next time. The nice thing about this recipe, is that I will usually have all the needed ingredients on hand. It’s a quick and easy recipe. My muffins came out with a nice consistency, not too heavy or rubbery.

I added extra cinnamon. I would definitely do it again
Christine Glass
I will add more cinnamon.. Good but did not have much taste.
Angela Clark
Not that sweet and a little dry. The muffin is sticky to the cupcake paper. But taste is ok
Joseph Perkins
I wouldn’t call them spicy. Simple and sort of plain. No changes when I made them, other than maybe a little extra apple chunks.
Fred Hester
did not rise enough for my liking
Todd Wiley
I make these exactly like the recipe says and my kids love them! I have never added extra sugar and every time I make a batch they are gone instantly.
Justin Smith
Not much dough, and no taste.
Earl Johnson
I think for a low sugar based recipe it’s actually pretty tasty,and my honeycrisp apples were fresh picked.. I would add brown sugar or maple syrup for a twist.
Leslie Scott
no taste what so ever.
Chris Cruz
These were a nice treat. Not too sweet. I would add more cinnamon next time. I substituted 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour/ 1 cup white instead of 2 cups White. I also added 5 chocolate chips and crispy topping to the top to take away from the WW flour taste. Made exactly 12 muffins and baked right on time stated.

My family LOVED these. I did add a smidge of pumpkin pie spice to the tops to pretty them up. As per usual I find that I used about a 75% of the sugar it called for and accidentally doubled the cinnamon. I used Red Delicious apples but might try gala or something next time; would be excellent with pecans or walnuts.

glad i read the reviews first… I added an extra 1/4 cup of sugar and used 1 1/2 cups apple sauce in stead of actually slicing apples… definitely came out as a very dense cake-like muffin but the taste was great…

Because of other reviews saying it was bland. I substituted white sugar for brown sugar. I added 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2tablespoons of lemon juiceand increased the milk to 21/2 cups. (Didn’t want the muffins dry). I loved them with the changes. I gave this a three star because I had to make so many changes. I alao put a little sugar on the apples as one reviewer suggested. Great idea! My husband and I devoured these muffins. He requested I make more today.

I had never made muffins before trying this recipe. I thought these turned out pretty well! I did add some extra ingredients. I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of raisins, 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts, and 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I will say I think they would be best served warm with some butter as they seemed a tiny bit dry. But they were fine without that. My kids enjoyed them too, who are 1 and 4. A lovely little snack or breakfast treat. Thanks for this simple yummy recipe. I will make these muffins again! 🙂
Gail Hopkins
Used this recipe so my 8 year old could mix it together and say she made them. I have never had any luck making muffins but she was so enthusiastic I decided to give them a try. They worked out really well, though I think I will use brown sugar next time and more then 1/4 cup. They were easy and my daughter enjoyed the idea of making a better muffin then I ever have! Will keep this recipe handy.
