8 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls

8 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls are made with refrigerated dough and bake in under 10 minutes. Sweet and poppable, they'll disappear in minutes!

Once you realize you don’t have to wait for the holidays or a weekend brunch to whip up a batch of 8 minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls, the second half of your life begins.

Don’t you just want to pinch their wee, cinnamon-swirled, yeast-free cheeks?!

That’s right, no waiting for dough to double in size 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 — and 8 minutes.

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 slice 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 a cozy, cinnamon-sugar flavor punch.

I advise making a couple batches – they’ll go fast!

Enjoy!
