Mini Cinnamon Rolls

 

You must try this quick and easy cinnamon roll recipe! Granted these mini cinnamon rolls might be the big, fat, and gooey cinnabon rolls that I loved as a kid, but these pop-in-your-mouth bites only takes less than 20 minutes to make and are a perfect snack to have any day of the week.

The first photo shows the ingredients of the cinnamon rolls and the photo on the bottom is for the icing.
You only need one tube of crescent roll dough, 2 tablespoon of butter, and however much cinnamon and brown sugar to sprinkle over your dough.

Rip off the wrapping of the crescent roll tube where instructed to do so. Once you lay out the two layers of dough, you can either pinch the seams together or roll the dough in a ball like I did. I then used a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a shape that is about 1/4 thick.

I applied 1 tablespoon of melted butter onto one side of the dough using a brush. Then I used a knife to cut through the dough into a more rectangular shape so that each roll can be evenly sliced.

Sprinkle as much brown sugar and cinnamon as you wish, but don't overdo it or else it might be too sweet especially with the icing. Carefully roll the dough into one log, and cut into even slices.

I rubbed 1 tablespoon of butter in each space of the mini muffin tin. The rolls were baked in my microwave-oven at 275 degrees, but you can refer to your crescent roll dough package directions and frequently check on the rolls as it is baking. As soon as it's done, you can see the sparkly glaze of the brown sugar like this before and after picture above.

For the icing, stir together 1 tablespoon of milk and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar or however much is needed for desired thickness. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls, pair it with your favorite hot beverage and get ready to experience the sweet bites packed with bold and incredible flavors!
