There is nothing like warm, ooey-gooey homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast (or dessert) on fall or winter morning.
Here’s an easy shortcut to make homemade cinnamon rolls that requires very little hands-on time in the kitchen. The end results are delicious warm, ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls start from your oven at home!
This easy short cut uses crescent roll dough which is a great base for cinnamon rolls. I take another shortcut and use cream cheese frosting for the top of the cinnamon rolls, however, you can make a quick glaze instead. You could also add any of your family’s preferences like nuts and/or raisins to the cinnamon rolls.
These cinnamon rolls served warm to your family and friends are the perfect breakfast on a cool morning. They will love these warm, ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls and begging for you to make again.
Easy Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Spread half of the mixture evenly on top of the crescent roll dough.
Start from the longer end and roll up dough. Cut the dough into 8 pieces.
Place rolls into a greased pie pan or casserole pan.
Repeat with the second package of crescent roll dough.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Drizzle cream cheese frosting over the cinnamon rolls.
Or whisk together cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until glaze is formed. Add milk to get the desired thickness. Then drizzle over cinnamon rolls.
