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 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 raced thru the photos to check the recipe to see what cinnamon rolls are easy. I was not disappointed. This would work. I have craving for cinnamon rolls, but normally either don’t have time to make them or I can’t wait. Hooray for the recipe!!!
