I told you yesterday about my surprise party and sudden house guests. I was so excited to have them since I don’t get to see my sister, niece, and nephew very often. It’s always so fun when cousins get together. They got to have a sleep over and to our surprise, they actually went to bed before midnight.
In the morning, I wanted to make up some breakfast for everyone but I wasn’t sure if cocoa pebbles would fit the bill. So I scoured my refrigerated and found some biscuits that I had gotten for cheap when they were on sale. You know those Pillsbury ones go on sale for $1 all the time and you can get them even cheaper with coupons. I assessed my bacon and egg situation and alas, there just wasn’t enough to make a real breakfast.
I checked out Google and adapted this recipe from Healthy and Homemade’s idea for cinnamon rolls made out of regular biscuits. I had all of the ingredients and didn’t have to make up any special dough which really cut down on the time.
They were so easy and the perfect breakfast in a pinch. We don’t eat cinnamon rolls too often around here so we don’t usually have them in the refrigerator. But for times like this when you need a last minute breakfast, this recipe is perfect.
| {Kitchen Tip} Cinnamon Rolls from Plain Biscuits |
- For the Cinnamon Rolls
- 7.5 oz Can of Biscuits
- 2 Tbsp Butter, Melted (I used Blue Bonnet Light)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- Sliced Almonds for Topping
- For the Glaze
- 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar
- 1 and 1/2 Tbsp Skim Milk
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tsp Creamy Peanut Butter
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and place on a plate.
- Open dough and roll out each biscuit into a long cylinder. Dip into butter and then into cinnamon sugar. Gently roll into a pinwheel and place in a greased baking dish.
- Follow the same steps until you have finished with all biscuits.
- If you have leftover butter and sugar, mix together and pour over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and brush over cinnamon rolls when they are done.
You may be wondering about that little bit of peanut butter that made it’s way into the glaze ingredients. I added this for depth of flavor and it was very subtle but yummy. My husband didn’t even notice it until I pointed it out, but he really liked it.
