Ingredients

• 10 slices Schär Gluten-Free Artisan Baker White Bread
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup cream
• 2 tsp divided vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp butter, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Make the Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grease a 12-cup nonstick muffin/cupcake pan.
• Trim crusts from bread. Arrange bread slices on large cutting board.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.
• Spread each bread slice with butter.
• Evenly sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of buttered bread slices.
• Stack 2 bread slices together with cinnamon-sugar sides facing each other. Repeat to make a total of 5 sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife, gently cut each bread stack into 8 to 10 strips, then cut each strip crosswise in half.
• Carefully line the muffin cups with the strips, in a circular pattern, dividing the slices evenly to fill all 12 cups.
• Place the eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the half & half in a medium bowl. Whisk to blend.
• Use a small measuring cup to pour the egg mixture over the bread strips, dividing the mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until cupcakes spring back to the touch. Cool pan on wire rack for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cupcakes, and then carefully invert muffin pan to release cupcakes onto a platter.

Make the Cream Cheese Icing:

• Combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Spread 1 teaspoon icing evenly on top of each cupcake.
• Serve warm!
