{SUPER easy} mini cinnamon rolls.

for my 2d class my final was at 7:30am. i just had to present all the work that i've done this semester. everyone was complaining about having to wake up so early, so i decided to cheer up every with some mini cinnamon rolls. you won't believe how easy these are to make!

Flip and repeat.

Next take a rolling pin and roll the dough into a square about 1/4″ thick.

Brush on 1 Tablespoon butter,

sprinkle with cinnamon,

and add a dusting of brown sugar.

Roll the dough into one big log, and cut into 8 even slices.

PS you can use as much cinnamon and brown sugar in these rolls as you want. This is a total non-recipe recipe!

Place the rolls into a non-stick sprayed mini muffin tin and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Recipe

Ingredients:

1-8oz tube crescent roll dough

2 Tablespoons butter

cinnamon

brown sugar

For the maple icing:

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 Tablespoon skim milk

3/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven according to crescent roll dough package directions. Layout half the dough (4 triangles) and pinch all the seams together. Flip over and pinch the seams on the back side together too.

2. Using a rolling pin, smooth the seams and roll the dough into a square about 1/4″ thick. Brush with half the butter, and sprinkle with as much cinnamon and brown sugar as you want. Roll into a log and cut into 8 pieces.

3. Place mini cinnamon rolls into a non-stick sprayed mini muffin tin. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the other half of the crescent roll dough. Bake according to package directions.

4. Meanwhile whisk together maple syrup and milk in a bowl. Add in powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.

**my variations.

1. I used Pilsbury crescent rolls.

2. I used pre-made cream cheese frosting. it was quicker & still yummy!

3. I had already packed my mini cupcake tin so i just used a regular cookie sheet.

(it still works they just get a little bigger!)
