Description
Imagine the mouthwatering aroma of warm, gooey cinnamon rolls infused with the salty-sweet crunch of maple-glazed bacon. This irresistible combination of flavors is what makes Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls a true breakfast masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 1 can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
- 8 pieces of bacon
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup, plus 1 tablespoon for drizzling
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the bacon strips on the rack and sprinkle them with the brown sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Let the bacon cool slightly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Open the can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls and gently unroll each one. Drizzle the 1/4 cup of maple syrup over the unrolled dough, making sure to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly across each roll.
3. Re-roll the cinnamon rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Bake according to the package instructions, usually 13-17 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
4. Once the Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle the included icing over the top, then finish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
Notes
For the best results, opt for thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon. The robust, smoky flavor pairs beautifully with the maple and cinnamon. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can cook the bacon until it’s extra crispy before adding it to the rolls.
Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the unbaked rolls and bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
