What You Need For This Recipe

To make the luxurious muffins you need only a small number of ingredients on your list. Put the following on your grocery list:

Dough – use crescent dough/croissant dough
Cinnamon – adds that warming sweet taste and smell to your cruffins
Pecan – finely chopped
Pistachio nuts – finely chopped
Powdered sugar – to sprinkle on top

Note that the full ingredients list, including measurements, can be found in the recipe card below.

How To Make Cruffins

To make these breakfast pastries start by preheating the oven to 400℉/200℃. Take the pecan and pistachio nuts and finely chop them before you set them aside.
Open the can of crescent dough and roll out the dough. The crescent is divided into three squares so cut the dough and take the first square.
Sprinkle cinnamon on the dough. Then take about a tablespoon of pecan and pistachio and sprinkle on top of the cinnamon.
Roll the squares into a roll and cut the rolled dough length away. Then take half of the dough and fold it into the muffin tin.
Repeat this sprinkle, roll, cut, and fold for the remaining dough. Put the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Take out of the oven, and let it slightly cool before you sprinkle the cruffins with some powdered sugar.
Ready to serve.

Croissant Muffin Recipe

These croissant muffins are divine, really try them and you know what I mean. The light and airy puff pastry is shaped like a muffin. What more could you ask for?

Indeed these fancy breakfast or brunch pastries are amazing. You can make these with homemade puff pastry dough but feel free to use some ready-made store-bought crescent dough.

What is important is the dough is cool when you use it so keep it in the fridge and take it out right when you want to use it.

Do not work the dough too much and if the dough gets too warm return the muffin pan to the fridge before you put it into the oven.

To make a flaky, crunchy, and puffy croissant muffin the dough needs to be properly chilled.

Cruffins Pan

To make these muffins you need a pan and the best one is a muffin pan. I use the big-sized croissant dough this will make extra big croissant muffins.

You do not need to butter the muffin pan because the dough has more than enough butter in it.

Cruffin Filling Options

These pastries are made with cinnamon and nuts but there are so many filling options that you use. Think about adding:

Homemade Nutella
Jam
Caramel
Chocolate chips
Cinnamon sugar
Granulated sugar
Crushed M&M’s
Apricot
Raisins
Almonds
Raspberries
