Ingredients Needed

- Chocolate chips
- Brown sugar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda

- Vanilla extract
To Make The Streusel Topping

How To Make Coffee Cake Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Slowly fold in the chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix.
- To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (if using) in a small mixing bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
Variations
- Swap out the filler. If you’re more of a fan of fruity muffins for breakfast, swap out the chocolate chips for blueberries for a bright and sweet bite.
- Leave out the chocolate chips. For a classic coffee cake muffin, simply leave out the chocolate chips for a more traditional bite.
- Double the recipe. These coffee cake muffins reheat like a dream, so while you have the oven on, make extras to freeze for later.
What To Serve With Them
Coffee cake muffins pair well with a variety of different drinks and side dishes, depending on the time of day and the occasion.
Here are some of my favorite things to pair these tasty treats with:
- Coffee - As the name suggests, coffee is the traditional pairing for coffee cake muffins. The warm, rich flavor of coffee complements the sweet, moist muffins perfectly.
- Tea - If you’re not a coffee drinker, tea is another great option to serve with coffee cake muffins. The subtle flavors of tea can highlight the flavors in the muffins.
- Milk - For a classic pairing, serve the muffins with a cold glass of milk. The creamy, smooth texture of the milk complements the texture of the muffins.
- Juice -For a refreshing option, serve the muffins with a glass of juice such as orange juice, cranberry juice or apple juice. The acidity of the juice can help to cut through the sweetness of the muffins.
- Yogurt - If you’re looking for a more substantial side dish, consider serving the muffins with a bowl of yogurt. The tanginess of the yogurt can balance out the sweetness of the muffins.
How To Store And Freeze For Later
Coffee cake muffins will last for about 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls
I get it. My recipes are generally no-fuss, efficient recipes, but sometimes you need to get reacquainted with your kitchen and put those must-have kitchen gadgets to work.
Baking is the perfect way to do it.
The great news is that you can bake without heating up your entire kitchen with these air fryer cinnamon rolls!
Make The Cinnamon Roll Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour as needed.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Fill And Assemble
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface, approximately 12x9 inches.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 6 equal-sized cinnamon rolls.
How To Air Fry Your Cinnamon Roll Dough
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
- Place the cinnamon rolls into the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
How To Make The Frosting
- While the cinnamon rolls are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the air fryer.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve your homemade air fryer cinnamon rolls immediately and enjoy!

Can You Make These Cinnamon Rolls In The Oven?
You absolutely can. This is actually a recipe that I’ve been using to make cinnamon rolls in my oven for YEARS. After letting too many cinnamon rolls go to waste (and my waist) and heating up my house in the heat of the summer, I’ve decided to finally give it a shot in the air fryer.
Here’s how you make this Cinnamon Roll recipe in the oven:
- Prepare your dough according to the instructions above
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place Cinnamon Rolls 1" apart (this will allow them to cook together into a pull-apart formation–keeping them soft on the inner edges)
- Bake at 375F for 25 minutes or until the tops of the cinnamon rolls are golden brown
- While the Cinnamon Rolls are still hot, add your desired glaze or toppings
How Long Do They Last?
The cinnamon roll glaze adds quite a bit of moisture to these dessert rolls. Because of the moisture, they are usually best eaten within 2-3 days of preparing them.
If you want your air fryer cinnamon rolls to be a grab-and-go meal prep breakfast for the whole week, consider leaving the glaze off and stored separately in the refrigerator in an air-tight container and glazing the rolls individually as you enjoy them.
Simply pop a prepared cinnamon roll in the air fryer with a small spread of glaze over the top at 300F for 2 minutes and enjoy!
