Truth be told. Â I love cinnamon rolls. Â Like a deep down kind of love, maybe even passionate to an extent. Â I mean, their cinnamon rolls!
Sadly, some days my super mom cape is at the dry cleaners though, and I don’t have the time (or energy) to make them from scratch.
Enter the best short-cut method ever. Â You only need 4 ingredients, and one of them is a can of crescent rolls.
Other than the crescent dough, the only other things you need are melted butter, cinnamon, & brown sugar. Roll out your crescent roll dough, taking care to press the seams together. Â Brush on the melted butter & then sprinkle on brown sugar & cinnamon to taste. Then gently, but tightly, roll up.
Cut 8-10 even slices from the roll.
Place in a miniature muffin pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake according to the crescent roll package directions.
Meanwhile, prepare your icing. Â Whisk together 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, & 3/4 cup confectioners sugar until smooth. Drizzle on the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm.
Inhale with your nose.
Then inhale with your mouth.
Repeat until no more rolls remain.
Bake another batch.
Repeat.

Oh wow, these cinnamon rolls look so delicious and I love how easy they are to make! I can’t wait to try them!
Oh, I love cinnamon rolls too! And ones this easy…I love this even more!!!
I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I was having a pretty serious craving for cinnamon rolls the other day and since my boyfriend takes the only vehicle we have for work, I was at home, craving hardcore. I have made cinnamon rolls before but hate when I burn them and/or the bottoms get all hard. I’m going to try this probably tomorrow. I, ironically, have all the ingredients for them. My 4 year old would love helping me make them anyway. 😀
Thanks for the awesome idea!
I just made these. My daughter and I LOVE them. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!

These are WONDERFUL! Thank you for putting this up. I wonder if you could use mini muffin/cupcake tins?
Sorry, that “guest” post below is me. I am wanting to take these for my son’s birthday party at school. Cupcake tins make distribution easier. Any thoughts?
These are so yummy! My family loved them!
