Cinnamon Crescent Rings bakery goodies are easy to make and are filled with a few ingredients that blend perfectly together.
Today is a huge day for me. It is one year ago today that I posted my first recipe on Vegan In The Freezer. I never, in my life, thought that such a job could be so rewarding and fulfilling. (P.S. it’s been 5 years now 🙂 )
It seems the whole day is spoken for but I love everything that is involved. The extra bonus is you, the reader. You who have welcomed me with open arms and offered me so many warm compliments.
Your humor has been a pleasant surprise too. So I say, thank you for a wonderful year and here is an easy and yummy breakfast recipe that I am sure you will love – Cinnamon Crescent Rings.
Cinnamon Crescent Rings start with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. They are vegan but make sure you buy the low fat ones because then they will not have any trans fats.
These bakery goodies are easy to make and are filled with a few ingredients that blend perfectly together. Your breakfast will be ‘the best’.

First – Breakfast in Bed! You lucky stiff 🙂 I think pecans would be great in there and thanks for letting me know how much you enjoyed them.
DeAnne says
Just made them for breakfast in bed. Yummy! My first time – it was a little difficult to twist but maybe that comes w/ practice. made them w/ only 1 cup of nuts and used pecans because that’s what I had. Definitely spread it so it’s not thicker in spots. Very good and I’ll make them again. Thanks!
Ginny McMeans says
