Ingredients
• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Arrange Cinnamon Rolls
Unroll the cinnamon rolls and place them in the sheet pan, slightly touching but not overlapping.
Step 3 – Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture evenly over the arranged rolls. Sprinkle optional nuts or chocolate chips on top if desired.
Step 4 – Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and puffed up. Keep an eye on them—every oven is a little different!
Step 5 – Add Icing and Serve
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the included icing (or a homemade glaze if you prefer). Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
These cinnamon rolls are perfect for turning any morning into a special occasion. The gooey centers, buttery sweetness, and festive aroma make everyone feel like it’s a holiday—even on a regular Tuesday!
