Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough instead?

Absolutely! While the canned rolls are super convenient (and what I use 90% of the time), homemade dough works beautifully too. Just make sure it's raw dough - not pre-baked rolls. Cut your homemade dough into small pieces like we do with the canned version. The baking time might be a minute or two longer since homemade dough tends to be thicker.

Can I prepare these the night before?

You sure can! Assemble everything in the muffin tin the night before, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the morning, just pop them straight into the preheated oven - you might need to add an extra minute or two to the bake time since they'll be cold. Perfect for stress-free brunch hosting!

What's the best syrup pairing?

Oh, this is my favorite debate! While the classic maple syrup is always a winner, I'm obsessed with using the cinnamon roll icing AND warm maple syrup together - it's like a sweet, gooey hug for your taste buds. For something different, try caramel sauce or even a berry compote. The possibilities are endless!

Can I make these in an air fryer?

I've tried it! Use parchment liners in your air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes. They come out slightly crispier than oven-baked, which some people love. Just watch them closely - air fryers can vary a lot in cooking times.
