Quick Mini Crescent Cinnamon Rolls

Crap, I really wish I hadn't found these.  I stumbled upon this recipe, while looking through Wedding Shower ideas and thought these would be perfect as mini cinnamon roll pops! 

First of all, they *were* delicious cinnamon roll pops. Secondly, I made them again tonight for my husband after he mentioned that he wanted something sweet.  

They disappeared in less than 5 minutes.

makes 8 mini rolls

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz.) package Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls

2 tablespoons butter - melted
brown sugar - to taste
cinnamon - to taste

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a regular size muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2) Roll out the package of Crescent rolls, onto a lightly floured surface and gently pinch together the seams.  Brush with melted butter, and then sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cinnamon.  Spread evenly with your hand.

3) Roll the dough and cut into 8 slices.  You may need to partially roll them again, to tighten the spiral.

4) Place the rolls in the muffin pan and bake for 10 minutes.  You can eat them right out of the pan ~ just don't tell anyone.

Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Who doesn't love coffee cake?  The cinnamon, sugar and espresso flavors, coming together with the moist cake - finished off with your favorite cup of coffee...

I L-O-V-E this cake so much, I may have to start eating breakfast more often.  It looks a little complex to pull together, with the layers and crumb topping, but it's easy enough for a beginner baker to create.  It's even good sans icing!

I made this Cinnamon Coffee Cake and brought it to my family's 4th of July BBQ, at the request of the host/birthday girl.  It was moist, flavorful and quick to throw together.  

Cinnamon Coffee Cake (adapted from Janis' recipe) Printable Recipe

makes 24 servings or 1 9x13 dish

Ingredients:

1 (16.5 oz.) package yellow cake mix <-- DO NOT use one with pudding already added in.  I exclusively use the one pictured below (Duncan Hines Classic Yellow)

2 (3.4 oz.)packages INSTANT vanilla pudding mix

4 eggs
1 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons espresso (just go to Starbuck's & get a double shot of espresso)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

This mixing bowl set is my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e!  I use it ALL. THE. TIME.

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 baking pan.

2) In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to stir together the cake and pudding mixes.  Add the eggs, oil, water, espresso, mixing until well blended.

3) In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. 

4) Pour a third of the batter into the baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.  Sprinkle a third of the cinnamon mixture evenly over top.  Repeat this process two more times, topping with the remaining cinnamon mixture.

5) Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, and then reduce heat to 325 degrees, baking an additional 40-45 minutes.  Cake is done when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.

Duh-LISH
