Description
This easy and delicious recipe for store-bought cinnamon rolls in a cast iron skillet elevates a simple breakfast into something extraordinary. The cast iron provides an even heat distribution, giving the cinnamon rolls a crispy, golden-brown bottom and a soft, gooey center. Perfect for brunch or a quick treat, this method guarantees that your cinnamon rolls are baked to perfection with minimal effort.
Ingredients
1 can of store-bought cinnamon rolls (including icing)
2 tbsp butter (for greasing the skillet)
Optional: Chopped nuts, fruit, or extra cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Skillet: Grease a cast iron skillet with butter to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking.
Arrange the Rolls: Place the cinnamon rolls in the skillet, ensuring they are close together but not overcrowded.
Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the center is cooked through.
Add the Icing: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the included icing over the hot cinnamon rolls while they’re still warm.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
If you want to add extra flavor, sprinkle some chopped pecans, walnuts, or even brown sugar on top before baking.
You can prepare the rolls in advance and store them in the fridge overnight to bake the next morning for an easy, no-fuss breakfast.
