    Strawberry Crescent Roll Muffin Cups

    Jump to Recipe

    With the help of grocery store pop-tube crescent rolls, these sweet streusel Strawberry Roll Crescent Muffin Cups will be a welcome addition for any breakfast, brunch, snack, or teatime.

    Of all the convenience foods in the market the pop-tube dough (crescent dough, in particular), is my favorite. I like to use them for these hard boiled egg stuffed biscuits, and this hash brown breakfast pizza, and these ham and Havarti crescent appetizers.

    The simple gist of this recipe:

    For this easy crescent roll muffin recipe, I used two tubes of crescent dough sheets and then sprinkled them with a mixture of granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lots of chopped, fresh, strawberries.

    The result is a deliciously tempting muffin that's super simple to make and utterly delicious!

    The ingredient list:

    • 2 tubes crescent roll sheets (not the perforated kind)
    • granulated sugar
    • ground cinnamon
    • butter
    • quick-cooking oats
    • brown sugar
    • all-purpose flour
    • fresh strawberries
    • salt

    Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

    Can the perforated crescent roll dough be used to make this recipe?

    Yes!

    If that's all you have on hand or all you can find in the market, using the perforated crescent roll dough is perfectly fine.

    You'll just need to take the time to press all the perforations together to form solid sheets of dough.

    Can other fruit be used in this recipe?

    Sure thing!

    I like to use fresh fruit and substitutions like apples, blueberries, cherries, pears (you get the idea) would all work well for this easy breakfast muffin recipe.

    That said, peel the fruit (if needed), and chop into small pieces. Since the baking time is relatively short for these muffins the small pieces will cook faster and yield a softer end product.

    Save this for later.

    We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    Can jam be used in place of the fresh fruit in this recipe?

    That's a wonderful idea!!

    I would spread a thin layer of jam over the butter layer and continue with the recipe as written.

    To make the filling:

    • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Set Aside.

    To make the streusel topping:

    • In a medium bowl, use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the cold butter into the oats, brown sugar, flour, salt and 2 tablespoons cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

    • Press out both of the crescent roll sheets to form one long rectangle, pressing the two pieces together to form one.

    • Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the surface of the dough and top the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly with the chopped strawberries.
    • Carefully roll the dough, jelly-roll fashion, lengthwise to form a large snake. Trim the ends (if needed).
    • Slice the dough snake into 12 even pieces and place each piece into one of the prepared muffin liners in the muffin tin.
    • Place the muffins in a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.
    • Cool the muffins in the muffin tin for 10 minutes and then remove the muffins from the tin to cool completely.

    Baked muffins may be frozen. Cool completely and store in an airtight freezer container or zip bag for up to 3 months.
