Easy Cinnamon Rolls
On a scale of 1-10 on the yummy scale, these cinnamon roll muffins are a 11. Watch out, I might fight you for them!
One afternoon I was craving cinnamon rolls. It seemed like everywhere I looked I saw a cinnamon roll on twitter, on the street, in a window, and every time I closed my eyes. All I wanted was a cinnamon roll, ok maybe I wanted two, but I wanted them quick.
I didn’t want to wait hours for yeast to rise, my belly was singing “feed me cinnamon rolls” so I came up with this yummy Cinnamon Rolls recipe which will get you delicious cinnamon rolls baked in 12 minutes! Dangerous, I know.
These Muffins use the same idea of my Monkey Bread Muffins by using refrigerated biscuits to quicken up the recipe. After baking them in a baking dish, then we make a creamy vanilla icing to pour over them, which you’ll see will melt beautifully and just warm your heart with happiness.
You will take each biscuit and rip it up into 6 pieces. Place the biscuit pieces into a bag and shake to coat the butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture. Then you’ll place 8-10 pieces of biscuits into each muffin cup. This is going to make the “rolls”.
Cinnamon Roll Icing
The icing is made with powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and a little bit of milk. This is one of my favorite frostings that I use on everything!
Christmas Morning Breakfast
Christmas Morning is supposed to be spent with your family, not spending hours in the kitchen preparing breakfast! These cinnamon rolls are a perfect holiday breakfast because they’re fast and delicious! Even the kids can help with them!
I hope you enjoy these easy Cinnamon Rolls!
