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…

I just made these. I used 1/4 cup butter, was generous with he brown sugar and added chopped toasted almonds. They took a title longer to bake than 10 minutes and, while in the mini muffin tin, rose unite a bit and overflowed. They weren’t so .”mini.” I believe if I cut the, smaller, maybe, but it old have made a ton more than a dozen. They turned out really wel. I topped the, with canned cream cheese frosting to make them more like a Cinnabon and everyone had three. Simple yet impressive.
There were delicious and so easy! Can’t wait to make them again. Thank you!
