Healthified Quick Cinnamon Rolls


No time for yeast and kneading and rising? You can get the same results of home made cinnamon rolls with half the fuss.

A warm, sweet, and cinnamony fresh-baked treat—in 30 minutes!

Prep Time:10 min
Start to Finish:30 min
makes:8 Servings

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 teaspoons orange juice or milk

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan; set aside. Unroll dough (do not separate); press perforations to seal. Brush dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Starting from a long side, roll up dough. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into eight pieces. Arrange rolls, cut sides up, in prepared pan, flattening each slightly.

2. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden. Cool rolls slightly in pan on a wire rack. Remove rolls from pan. In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough orange juice or milk to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over warm rolls. Serve warm.
