Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls are the easiest recipe for semi-homemade cinnamon rolls is the perfect start to your day!
What’s a girl to do when she’s craving good cinnamon rolls, has no access to yeast, and the canned cinnamon rolls just won’t do it? Let the crescent rolls do the work!
This is similar to a recipe that I have in my cookbook, 30 Minute Cooking for Two, except it’s scaled for more people and a couple of other differences. While I absolutely love the recipe from my book, I’m now also feeding two hungry little boys in addition to Marc and I.

How to Make Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe starts with a can of crescent rolls. I’ve been able to find crescent roll sheets, where it’s actually just one whole sheet of crescent rolls, instead of the triangles, and that would definitely be ideal in this recipe. Otherwise, you’ll just pinch the creases together.
After that, you brush the crescent rolls with melted butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Then it gets rolled up into a log, sliced into 6 cinnamon rolls, and baked to perfection. Seriously, so easy!
