Sweet or savory, it’s hard to deny the appeal of the cruffin! My Delicious and Simple Cruffin Recipes bake up easy with store bought crescent rolls and simple ingredients.
What is a Cruffin?
What’s a cruffin? A cruffin is a cross between a croissant and a muffin. Not to be mistaken for a puffin (a puff pastry muffin combo) or a biffin (a muffin made with biscuit dough). Though, both of those sound delicious! A cruffin takes crescent roll dough and bakes it up in a muffin pan.
What’s the difference between crescent roll and puff pastry? They’re both laminated doughs, but croissant dough contains yeast that makes them bake up puffy and light. Which is the texture we’re going for!

xoxo,
Hey thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I have needed inspiration after a long time away from cooking due to health. I’m making the cinnamon cruffins tomorrow 😊 can’t wait. seeing the different twists that can be done to the cruffins has stirred my inspiration. have you ever done them with biscoff I’m debating and still use the cinnamon suger to coat for crunch and extra flavour and a fine icing drizzle to break the flavour up I will have to let you know how that goes. Thank you again I haven’t had the energy and already I’m so excited to be in the kitchen and have a go at experimenting . I’m going to be jotting down all possibilities 😅 . Happy new year
Hi! I am sorry to hear you’ve been unwell, but I am so excited you’re getting back in the kitchen. I can’t wait to hear which cruffin recipe you try first! Enjoy!!
