I feel like people feel like they need an excuse to make cinnamon rolls. Holidays? Definitely. Brunch? For sure. A random Wednesday. Certainly not!
Until now – thanks to 8 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls! Don’t you just want to pinch their wee, cinnamon-swirled, YEAST FREE CHEEKS?
That’s right – no waiting for dough to double and rise because we’re channeling our inner Sandra Lee and taking help from the grocery store to bust these babies out in record time. All you need is a tube of crescent roll dough, butter, sugar, cinnamon – oh, and 8 minutes – and you’re off to the races.
Dare you to eat just one…
How to Make Mini Cinnamon Rolls:
Start by smacking open a tube of crescent roll dough. (File that under top 5 most satisfying feelings in life.)
Place half the dough next to each other then pinch the seams together.
Flip then repeat.
Next, take a rolling pin then roll the dough into a smooth square about 1/4″ thick.
Brush on 1 Tablespoon butter then sprinkle with cinnamon and add a dusting of brown sugar. No need to measure – just go with your gut!
Roll the dough into a log then cut into 8 even slices.
Place the rolls into a non-stick sprayed mini muffin tin then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Whee!
Aren’t they the cutest? I can’t even describe how delicious they smell warm out of the oven!
As the mini cinnamon rolls bake, mix up a quick icing made from maple syrup, powdered sugar, and a little bit of milk. While the cinnamon rolls are still warm, drizzle a teaspoon or two of the icing on top of each one.
DROOL…

These sweet and poppable bites are tiny enough to sit on a spoon…
but pack BIG, bold flavor! I’d advise making a couple batches – they’ll go fast!

hmm, could you suggest how to make these if you do not have a mini cupcake pan? could they all bake together in a circle pan, maybe?

I think that could work!

I just made these! Mu kids are going to love them. But I’m not adding any glaze or frosting. That way they aren’t too fattening. It’s nice to have a treat when you’re trying to be healthy.

Hi, love the mini rolls. Just out of curiosity do you brush on melted butter or spread on soft butter. I did the spread on soft butter and it worked but still curious if you mean melted butter.
thanks :)
Kristin 03.07.2014

These are cute & look yummy. I made a simple version of these that everyone loved. We were snowed in & I had to invent some food to please lots of kids. I seperated each triangle into 2 pieces & since they ate sticky, I covered each with cinnamon & sugar by just putting each piece in a bowl of cin & sugar mixture. Then I put each piece in a greased muffin tin. I placed them in a ‘knot’ not perfect. Then I put some melted butter on top of each one. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 mins. Definitely make at least 2 pans.
