Omgomgomgomgomg. These are so freakin’ good. I made them for breakfast on Saturday and all 16 disappeared in a flash – like it had never happened.
Went to Costco 2 hours later, and whoops! How did that case of crescent roll packages get in my cart?
Mini rounds of fluffy dough, filled with butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nuts. And topped with a maple glaze.
Bite-sized and ready to devour in under 25 minutes. You’ll never spend money at Cinnabon again.
You may also find yourself making these every single day. Love me? Hate me?
I’m just going to sit over here in the corner. And lick the icing off my fingers.
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
Makes 16
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
• 1 (8 ounce) tube crescent seamless dough sheet **
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon skim milk
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
** If you cannot find the seamless dough, then just buy an 8 ounce tube regular crescent roll dough, but you’ll need to pinch all the seams together, then smooth out slightly with a rolling pin.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a non-stick mini muffin tin with cooking spray; set aside.
Layout your dough, longer side toward you. Brush with the butter. Sprinkle with the cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans. Roll into a log and cut into 16 equal pieces.
Place mini cinnamon rolls into your mini muffin tin. Bake for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk together maple syrup and milk in a bowl. Add in powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
Note: obviously this is a non-recipe recipe where you can use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like!

These looked so good I shared them. Again, Thank You for your time and talent.
Made these this morning – they were great! Didn’t roll up too well, but that’s because I rolled the dough onto the counter and it was sticky. Cut them bigger so it only made 12. I drizzled half with the glaze, half I just brushed more melted butter on. Very easy – will definately make again.
These are adorable!
Mmm they look so good! I love cinnamon in the morning!
This look yum and awesome! This may be the first thing I do when I get my first mini muffin pan, thanks!!
These mini beauties would disappear like smoke in my home too! They look perfect! You have a lovely collection of recipes in your blog!
Oh yeah! These are a must try.
Cinnamon rolls are my absolute favorite breakfast indulgence. If they weren’t so bad for you, I’d eat them daily. These are SO cute! They’re like two-bit cinnamon rolls. …that could be dangerous.
25 minutes would also be a max at my house. Great shortcut!
I was SO drooly until I read the crescent roll thing. We don’t have any refrigerated biscuit or pizza or crescent roll thingos in Australia. How I miss it when it comes to needing something in the oven quickly.
Well. I’ll love you while I’m devouring every last one. And then I’ll hate you (just a little bit) when my jeans don’t fit.
That seems fair, right? :P
Such a wonderful recipe, bookmarked!!!
I have made-from-scratch recipes, but this looks too easy to pass up. I’m drooling as I write this.
Now you’re talkin’!!!
Freaking cute! I’d eat way more than I should because of their mini size – that’s always the way though huh?
I think these would be a great treat for a ladies’ brunch (especially since that would ensure I wouldn’t eat every single one of them myself). Yum!
OMG !! OMG !! OMG!!! My hips thank you!!!
This is soooo not helping my recent meeting my target weight goal!
Yum, yum, YUM! I will be trying these, hopefully I don’t eat them all in one day :)
I’ve been promising the girls I’d make these ever since I saw them on Pinterest (or a version of them, anyway). Because they look amazing. And simple. And bite-sized which is just tooo cute!
