Ingredients

For cinnamon rolls:
  • 1 package crescent roll sheets
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

For the Cinnamon Rolls
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a mini-muffin pan with nonstick baking spray. 
  2. Unroll the crescent roll sheets onto a lightly floured surface and brush each one with melted butter. 
  3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the crescent rolls. 
  4. Roll the crescent rolls tightly into a log and slice into 3/4 inch thick rolls-- you should have about 12 rolls per log. 
  5. Place one roll into a well of the prepared muffin pan and repeat with the remaining rolls. 
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the rolls are set in the center and golden brown around the edges. 
  7. Serve the cinnamon rolls warm, topped with the icing (below). Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. 
For the Frosting 
  1. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. 
  2. Next, add the powdered sugar and mix until the icing is smooth. Spread the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy.
