Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls

First off, I won't pretend that these are healthy or remotely good for you.  But let's have a sweet break now and again.

I saw something similar to these online, and I had to give it a try.  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.  Enjoy!

Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls

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.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 tube of crescent rolls in a tube (Pillsbury are vegan)
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons of vegan butter/margarine (I used Earth Balance)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
• ▢ 3 Tablespoons of powdered sugar
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon of soy/almond/rice milk
• ▢ ½ teaspoon of 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.
