Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake Add Ins: Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Mix!

Okay, so I’ve been seeing this Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake mix all over the place, and I finally decided to grab a box. I mean, who doesn’t love a good crumb cake, right? But I didn’t just want to make it plain, I wanted to make it my own, you know?

I started by following the directions on the box. Mixed the batter, which was super easy. It just needed some water, an egg, and some oil. Then I prepared the cinnamon swirl part, that was also a piece of cake, just the mix and water, nothing too wild. Then I poured half the batter into a greased pan, swirled in that cinnamon goodness, added the rest of the batter, and topped it off with the crumb topping.

Now, here’s where I started to have some fun. I had some fresh blueberries in the fridge, and I thought, “Why not?” So I tossed a handful of those on top before baking. And let me tell you, it smelled amazing while it was in the oven.

But I didn’t stop there. I remembered I had some leftover cream cheese frosting from another project. After the cake cooled a bit, I drizzled that frosting all over the top. Oh, and I also sprinkled some chopped pecans for a little crunch.

My Add-Ins List

  • Fresh blueberries – tossed them on top before baking.
  • Cream cheese frosting – drizzled on after it cooled a bit.
  • Chopped pecans – sprinkled on for some texture.

The result? Seriously, it was so good! The blueberries added a nice burst of freshness, the cream cheese frosting made it extra decadent, and the pecans gave it that perfect little crunch. It was like, a whole new level of crumb cake. And you know what, feel free to try substituting your own homemade crumb cake recipes if you want to go that way. But honestly, for a boxed mix, this was a winner. Next time, I’m thinking maybe some sliced apples, or maybe even a caramel drizzle. The possibilities are endless, folks!
