    Hi Nikki,
    These look fantastic. I would love to have a go at making these but we don"t have Grand Biscuits in Australia. Would you be able to suggest a suitable substitute?

    Many Thanks

    These were delicious, but a little messy. They bubbled up and spilled over in my oven. I'll remember to put foil under the muffin tin next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

  7. Nicky @ Pink Recipe Box

    Beautiful! I never would have thought of baking mini cinnamon rolls in a muffin tin. I'll definitely be giving it a try in the future!

  8. Andrea Asher

    Thanks for this recipe!! I will try it the next time my Grand babies come over to stay all night. They love to help :)

    I made these yesterday and I have to say they are the best! Rivals Cinnabon and can be made any time you have a craving. This recipe is definetly a keeper that earned 5 stars from my husband and I. The recipe was easy to follow and to make. I didn't make any changes - it is perfect just the way it is.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

  11. Debbie

    I have these in the overn but at 20 minutes the middle is still a bit gooey, wondering if its my oven or I messed something up :(

  12. Leslie

    These are great! I'm going to make a bunch of these ahead, freeze them, and take and bake them for Thanksgiving this year. Thanks for sharing.

    We don't have Grands biscuits in Canada, do you think combining 2 buttermilk biscuits into one round and then follwong the recipe would work??

    I'm deathly allergic to cinnamon so I substituted my old standby "ground cardamom" and my family didn't even know the difference. Tried it at school too and my classmates were in love instantly!!! :D

  15. Renee

    look awesome.. wish I had the stuff to make them.

  16. Jeanne

    OMG These are the best cinnamon roll muffins I have ever made (and I have made many, looking for quick and tasty). They're quick, easy, and I usually always have the ingredients on hand. I didn't use the cream cheese frosting, preferring a confectioner's sugar/milk glaze. But still, YUM!

    These are awesome. My while family loved them and they are so easy and fast to make.
