These easy cinnamon roll bites are just the thing when you want something warm, hassle-free and a little bit crispy. They are baked in the oven, rise surprisingly well, and stay soft inside. The nutty crunch at the end adds structure and depth, while the creamy vanilla skyr provides protein and pleasure. Easy and quick to make, with hardly any preparation. The fluffiness is almost unbeatable.

How it's done

Preheat the oven and baking tray

Preheat oven and muffin tray to 220 °C (see note).

Egg mixture

Put the flour into a bowl. Add the milk, eggs and half the butter, and whisk well until a smooth batter forms. Remove the muffin tray from the oven, brush six hollows with half of the remaining butter, then fill the prepared hollows with batter up to about 3/4 full.

To bake

Approx. 15 mins. at 220 °C. Reduce the temperature to 175 °C and bake for approx 18 mins. until done (see note). Remove.

Crunchy topping

Toast the nuts in a frying pan without oil, transfer to a plate, add sugar and cinnamon, and mix. Remove the cakes from the tin while still warm, brush with the remaining butter, coat in the nut and cinnamon mixture, and plate up.

Stir together the skyr, vanilla and maple syrup until well combined, then serve with the cinnamon roll bites.
