I saw something similar to these online, and I had to give it a try. Â So here's the challenge: I made these in under 25 minutes, from ingredients, to making the icing and doing the dishes while they cooked, to eating - can you beat my best?
In total, I spent under $6.00 for everything I needed, which means this cost about .60 cents a roll. Â Enjoy!
Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls
Jake
These are definitely a treat but they are delicious! Everything in moderation. They also take a bit of work to make, but are so worth it.
1tubeof crescent rolls in a tube (Pillsbury are vegan)
2Tablespoonsof vegan butter/margarine (I used Earth Balance)
½teaspoonof cinnamon
1Tablespoonof brown sugar
3Tablespoonsof powdered sugar
1Tablespoonof soy/almond/rice milk
½teaspoonof vanilla
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Pop open the crescent rolls and roll the dough into a ball, kneading it to work out the perforations.
Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle.
spread 1 tablespoon of margarine over the dough, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it onto the margarine and smooth out.
Roll the dough up into a long roll and use a sharp knife to cut into 1 inch discs.
Put the discs into a lightly oiled muffin tin (a baking sheet will do if you're short a muffin tin), and bake until golden brown - about 15 minutes.
While cooking, mix the margarine and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar with a hand mix. Alternate milk, remaining sugar, and vanilla beating until smooth. Add soy milk or sugar to get the consistency you prefer.
Frost and enjoy!
Notes
Sometimes I've seen a tube of crescent dough that is just one rectangle.

Jake switched to a plant based diet in 1996 and quickly realized he had no idea how to cook. All these years later and he's still trying to figure it out...
