Best idea EVER! Seriously, I stumbled upon this magical creation the other day and with 30 minutes to spare before the baby’s next feeding I quickly rushed into the kitchen and started pulling out all the ingredients. I was a crazy cook on a mission!
Cinnamon Toast Rolls. It is a hybrid creation between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast. The inside is nice and chewy while the outside stays slightly crispy. Drizzled with the typical cinnamon roll icing and you have yourself one amazing bite of heaven. The best part about this breakfast treat is you can be creative with it. Try rolling the bread into different shapes, go crazy and use different types of breads and by all means try a variety of icings- like maple pecan, orange and cream cheese or even chocolate icing. YUMMMMM! The possibilities are endless.
I was planning to post a refreshing and delicious salad recipe today but after one bite of these babies I knew I couldn’t keep this a secret any longer. Now if you have already heard of Cinnamon Toast Rolls or you have even made them before- then shame on your for not sharing them with me soonerJ Seriously, I am in love with this simple, easy 30 minutes or less breakfast treat that is 100 times better for your kids than half the cereals out there. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! Cheers!
- a dozen or so slices of very soft, fresh white bread
- melted butter
- cinnamon sugar (1 cup sugar plus 3 TBSP cinnamon)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the crusts from a slice of bread and roll until very thin. Spread both sides of the bread with melted butter and then sprinkle one side with the cinnamon sugar, making sure to cover very well. Fold each side into the middle and then gently roll up and place in a buttered mini muffin tin. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon sugar. Alternately, you can fold the bread into a triangle, and then fold into another smaller triangle and place on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
- When all of the rolls are made, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn golden brown and get a little crisp. Remove from the muffin tin to cool slightly before serving.
- If desired, drizzle with some icing made with powdered sugar that's been moistened with a little milk.
- These freeze really well. To reheat, place briefly in a microwave to thaw and then bake in a low oven (250 or 300 until warm and slightly crisp. Alternately, you can reheat them in foil in the oven.
My son would LOVE these! Yum!
Ummm yea, I’ll be ALLLLLL over these!! A salad is good too, lol…but what’s not to love about cinnamon? hahaha.
Have a great day….Happy Weekend Sweets!!!

Wow!! I could so see these for a brunch! How clever and the possibilities to add in other ingredients makes it a year round treat! I’m glad you posted this one!!
Oh, this looks amazing!! I am totally making these this weekend!!!!!
These look great and so simple to make that I just have to give them a try. Cinnamon toast rocks! It’s still one of my favorite childhood breakfast treats. I recently made these sugar crusted popovers and let me tell you, the kids and I were in heaven. Simply the best morning comfort food ever!
Can’t wait to try these this weekend though! I love easy peasy recipes that can be made on the fly!
OMG my FIL is a cinnamon fanatic. He would go nuts for these! Forwarding to my MIL 😉
i’m loving these and never thought just by folding and rolling the breads can make these delicious looking rolls! splendid idea!
We never had cinnamon toasts as a kid, being of European parents, but I dare say I do love cinnamon rolls (frankly Cinnabun just doesn’t do it for me!). These look really tasty Jessica, thanks for sharing.
These look so delicious, I had to look away. Tempting me to come off my happy healthy wagon… YUM!

I love everything cinnamon and I think I just found a favorite!
Okay, with an endorsement like that, I’ll definitely try them!
Wow how easy and delicious these look!! I am going to e-mail this to our daughter-in-law because I know they will love these.
Jesica did you have the baby? and congratulations if you did! What did you have? a girl or boy?
Did I miss your announcement ? ohhhhh how happy I am for you!!!
And these rolls are so simple- genius!
Mmm, I bet they taste awesome. My kids would love to add them to their smoothies as a topping! I’ll have to make these for them this weekend!
I’ve been away from my blog for a few months now, I’m now browsing through my favorite sites catching up… and this has to be one of the best things I’ve seen. In fact, I think I’m going to go make it right now… It sounds absolutely addictive! I can’t wait to browse through all your other recipes that I’ve missed… 🙂 Happy New Year to you! 🙂
You have just made my kids’ morning! They are going to LOVE this!!!! (And I have no doubt I will too.) 😉
These are going to be the first things I serve at the Midtown Market come April, using the solar oven. (Chances are, I’ll eat so many before then, that I won’t fit into my clothes!!!) Yummy. And, I already have the Cinnamon Sugar!
My absolute favourite is cinnamon rolls and these look yum, The ones I get from the local coffee shop never taste real…
What a brilliant idea! I love that it is such an easy way to spoil your family on a busy Sunday morning! Thanks for sharing this with the Gallery!
Wow that sounds crazy good, and so easy to make too!
My kids and husband would absolutely love me if these appeared at the breakfast table tomorrow.
I love your cinnamon rolls and this toast is a genius! Cinnamon with sugar and butter will not go wrong! 🙂
Jessica, we love little sweet cinnamon treats like these! I just love everything that you post though! How do you stay so thin???? I’m pinning these for you on Pinterest.
These look lovely and I just can’t believe how simple they are to prepare. Thank you for sharing!
This is totally my kind of “dessert” recipe. 😉 So easy and looks like I can make exactly like yours! I actually have very good quality toasts from a bakery that I kept in freezer. I should consider making this!
Oh boy! Recipes don’t get easier or tastier than this! Delicious!
🙂 Mandy
And so much easier than making these scrolls from scratch! Think you found a fantastic solutioN!!
These look mouthwatering and best of all so easy to make.
Wow, these look very tasty. I also like easy recipes…in fact pretty easy recipes are the only ones that really catch my attention. Thanks for sharing.
cinnamon toast rolls…..YOU.ARE.A.GENIOUS!!!! 🙂
They look fantastic. I can’t believe, they started out as plain white bread. This is a winner, for sure.
Wow, what a perfect combo of crusty, soft and sweet.
These sound SO addictive and amazing! And I was shocked when I read the recipe–they seem so easy to make! Mmm, I’ll have to make these soon!
I’m totally trying these–and more importantly, teaching my teenage daughters so that they can make them, too! I think our middle daughter, who thinks she is terrible in the kitchen, will be encouraged. Perhaps this can be her specialty? Thanks so much for this terrific idea!
they look really pretty! I would love to make them, specially because they are in mini size
This is certainly a unique and wonderful recipe.. and I have to say.. these Cinnamon Toast Rolls look delish!
I remember when my brother and I “invented” cinnamon toast and thought we were the world’s biggest geniuses. However…these rolls definitely top the plain old toast. I’d be popping these like candy.
What a fabulous idea! YUM!
Wow..these look fabulous. I am sure my boys would gobble them up! 😉
My boys will be thanking you soon! They love cinnamon toast and rolls! This will be perfect.
What a fabulous, fun idea! Perfect the next time I’m craving something sweet.
Thanks for linking up. This recipe is such a treat and so ingenious, it is being featured on Let’s Do Brunch.
Baking between feeding the baby, sorry of my life too! This is wi clever and easy! I think I’ll try it with cinnamon swirl bread. Yum!
I LOVE cinnamon and I can’t thank you enough for sharing this
