Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls in Muffin Pan: Homemade Recipe

How would you like to start your day with these Muffin Pan Cinnamon Rolls? They are easy enough for even a busy weekday morning!

Remember last week when I brought you Twisted Pizza Breadsticks using frozen bread dough? Well, that recipe only needed two loaves of the 3-pack of dough. What’s a girl to do when she has a pound of perfectly good dough in front of her? Make easy cinnamon rolls of course! I completely improvised this recipe using my muffins pan, and it turned out pretty great if I do say so myself. You could add a simple powdered sugar glaze to make them more like original cinnamon rolls if you’d like. However, I was looking for something a little less sweet than I wouldn’t feel quite as guilty about eating for breakfast.
