Mini Cinnamon Rolls are bite-sized, soft, and fluffy pastries swirled with a buttery cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a quick dessert, these mini treats deliver all the flavor of classic cinnamon rolls in a fun, snackable size.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) or 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners.
- Roll out the puff pastry or crescent dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Brush melted butter evenly over the dough.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place each mini roll into the muffin pan and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- While rolls bake, make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add chopped pecans or raisins before rolling the dough.
- If using homemade dough, chill before slicing for cleaner rolls.
- Best served warm; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
