Easy Mini Cinnamon Rolls

Mini Cinnamon Rolls are precious little treats that will almost melt in your mouth. Easy to make for a delicious crescent roll breakfast.

Here is an easy breakfast or brunch that you can serve on those special days. A weekend or holiday is always a fun choice.

These little goodies take advantage of a grocery store favorite – pre-packaged Crescent Rolls.

The crescent rolls are one of those accidentally vegan products but buy the low-fat ones because they don’t have any trans fats. Sweet, soft, comforting mini cinnamon rolls.

Definitely, an indulgence and we all deserve it.

Here are a couple of keepers you just may want to try out.

• Crescent Roll Breakfast Rings are a real crowd pleaser and you can make a large stack for a crew.
• They aren’t always for breakfast. These Crescent Roll Pesto Appetizers disappear really quick.

The picture below shows how to space out your rolls. That’s and 8″x8″ pan.

When the mini cinnamon rolls are done baking the pan will be full of fat rolls that fill every spot.

Rolled and ready to bake.

How Do You use Crescent Dough for Mini Cinnamon Rolls?

The trick is that you open up the dough and lay out the flat sheet. You’ll see the perforations that you would normally break apart to roll up into crescents.

What you do is simply press the perforations together. I slightly pinch the perforation first then press down with my finger so that the seal is good.

You’ll never know they were made for another shape after you’ve done your rolling and baking. You’ll have a crescent roll breakfast that’s fit for – you and your loved ones.
