Convenient crescent roll dough hurries along these yummy glazed rolls. I found the recipe in a cookbook and slimmed it down by using sugar substitute instead of sugar. With hot coffee, these buns are a guilt-free morning treat.—Helen Lipko, Martinsburg, Pennsylvania

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

These delicious frosted rolls make for a sweet breakfast or brunch treat. Try these delicious cinnamon roll…

these were really good! My husband loved them...they were easy to prepare and I like the fact that it used ingredients that I normally keep on hand!!

I tried the recipe and thought it was very easy and delicious. I used brown sugar in the place of white sugar and added raisins. My husband raved about them. sab

These rolls are great and very easy to make. I have also made them with a "sticky bun" topping.

I loved the recipe. Was the ticket for breakfast dessert (after sausage and eggs). Grandkids loved it. I'll keep low-fat crescent rolls on hand just to make the cinnamon rolls. Lori B.

My husband absolutely loved these as did I. And as much as we both love sugar, I think the next time I will make the glaze without the sugar in it. There is so much on the rolls itself that I think the sugar added to the glaze too makes it just a little bit of an overload. But it is still definitely a keeper in my recipe box, and I cannot wait to make these again! Thanks for a quick and awesome recipe!

Great recipe, I made it using recipe creations instead of the crescent rolls. I will make it again, but will probably double the filling just for more flavor.

This looks so good. I have a tube of crescent rolls in the fridge, and will be making this for breakfast on the weekend.

I made this simple, but delicious dessert for our family Christmas gathering.  They all loved the rolls. Thanks for a fun and simple dish that most everybody will enjoy. My son has already told me not to buy any more canned cinnamon rolls, but make these instead.
