Easy Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls
Description
Easy Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls enhance pre-made cinnamon rolls by folding in chopped crispy bacon coated with a maple syrup and brown sugar glaze. The bacon is oven-baked twice—first to crisp, then again after glazing to intensify the caramelized maple flavor. After chopping, bacon pieces are spaced evenly inside each cinnamon roll before re-rolling. The rolls bake according to package directions in a greased pan, then are topped with a maple-syrup enhanced glaze mixed from the included frosting packet and maple syrup. Additional chopped bacon tops the finished rolls, adding crispy texture and rich, sweet-savory notes. The combination of maple sweetness and smoky bacon creates a layered flavor profile that makes these cinnamon rolls more complex and interesting. The soft, cinnamon-spiced dough contrasts with the bacon’s chewiness, while the sticky glaze binds it all together. This dish is suitable for a weekend breakfast or brunch when you want a treat with a balance of savory and sweet elements. It requires some intermediate prep but uses mainly store-bought bases for convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 can cinnamon rolls Pillsbury brand
- 8 pieces Bacon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup + 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lay strips of bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet. When oven is up to temperature, place baking sheet in the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.

Unroll each cinnamon roll, place a few pieces of bacon along the inside (spaced about an inch apart) and re-roll cinnamon rolls, reserving half of the bacon for topping. Place cinnamon rolls inside a greased round cake pan and cook according to directions on Pillsbury package.
