1/2 teaspoon salt

How to make Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Ready a muffin tin. Grease or line and set aside.
Step 2: Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixer. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: Whisk the butter, egg, and milk in another bowl until blended. Then, add this to the dry ingredients. Mix well until just combined.
Step 4: Mix the topping ingredients.
Step 5: Into the muffin batter, gently fold half of the topping mixture. Then, fill the prepared muffin tin with 1/4 c. of the batter and top with the rest of the sugar mixture.
Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake the muffins for about 12 to 15 minutes or until they spring back when pressed lightly.
Step 7: Take the muffins out of the oven when done and transfer them to a wire rack.
Step 8: Whisk the frosting ingredients and drizzle this on top of the muffins.
NOTES:
If desired, you can throw in (about 1 c.) pecans or walnuts.
To prevent the muffins from getting tough, make sure not to overmix the batter.
To get even-size muffins, use a muffin scoop. DO NOT overfill the muffin tins.
