Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 15 to 20 sausage links
- 1 can cinnamon rolls
Sweet Additions:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Cooking Essentials:
- 4 tablespoons (2 fluid ounces) butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate each cinnamon roll dough and slice into thin strips.
- Carefully wrap each sausage link completely with a dough strip, ensuring full coverage.
- Position the wrapped sausages evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough turns a rich golden brown.
- While baking, create the glaze by gently melting butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Incorporate maple syrup into the melted butter, stirring smoothly.
- Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until the glaze reaches a silky, uniform consistency.
- Once the sausage rolls emerge from the oven, immediately drizzle the warm glaze over the top.
- Serve the glazed breakfast rolls while still warm, creating a delightful morning treat that combines sweet and savory flavors.
Notes
- Make extra to freeze for quick future breakfasts by wrapping individually and storing in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 weeks.
- Swap traditional sausage links with turkey or plant-based sausages for lower-fat or vegetarian alternatives that keep the same delicious texture.
- Experiment with different flavor profiles by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a dash of cayenne pepper into the dough for a personalized breakfast twist.
- Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper for easier cleanup and more consistent heat distribution during baking.
