I love cinnamon buns. I keep a roll of Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls in my refrigerator on a regular basis. Haha. I mean, sometimes a girl has a craving, right? A bite-sized treat that will melt in your mouth. And they’re perfectly sized, making for a guilt free treat (sort of, kind of!?!?)
These delicious bits- sized treats are a holiday favorite in the Kuert Family… and now the Rowe family (smile). I don’t bake every year, but when I do these are on the menu! As a matter of fact, I just happened to make a couple of batches yesterday.
I’m pretty sure you will win the heart of your cranky co-workers and/or neighbors with these golden nuggets of yummy goodness. And the good news is the kiddos can get their sugar fix from a dessert that is just the right size for them. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
Let’s get this delicious-ness started! Did I mention they require no yeast or kneading? Yep, using crescent rolls, you’ll have these ready to serve in minutes.
How to Make Mini Cinnamon Buns
Bite-Sized Cinnamon Buns
Ingredients
- 1 package of Crescent Rolls
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white Karo syrup
- Cinnamon and Sugar
Instructions
- Take the crescent rolls and place flat. Press perforations together (into four squares or all in one). In a round cake pan, melt your butter. Then brush or spoon some of the melted butter onto the dough. Shake or sprinkle cinnamon and sugar to taste.
- Roll the dough like a jelly roll. Place roll(s) in freezer for 5-10 minutes for an easier cut. Remove from freezer and cut, getting 9-10 pieces out of four smaller rolls or 36-40 out of one long roll.
- Add the brown sugar and Karo syrup to the butter in the cake pan and melt. Place the buns in round cake pan.
- Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 12 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Put tin foil on a plate and place the plate over the cake pan and turn upside down quickly, while they are still hot. Cool for a few minutes, then separate and place in small cupcake liners and serve.
Are you getting hungry? Maybe a quick run to the grocery store is in order? You won’t regret it… How about surprising the family with a sweet treat tonight or on Christmas morning? Let me know what you think!

Jules@ A Little Bite of Life says
Yum! I have a feeling that it won’t matter if they are “bite-size” ….when I make and eat the whole pan by myself, I won’t be able to use the excuse that they were bite-size, LOL! Thanks for the recipe. Visiting as a fellow blogger from the Holiday Treats event!
Kelly says
Hi Jules! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 Yeah, I can wipe out half the pan in no time… then I feel kinda sick. LOL. Have a great week.

Wanda jordan says
I don’t know if anyone else is having problems seeing the lettering part of this post of just me. But very tiny and very, very light. I’m having to strain to see. No I don’t need glasses I see great up close on computer. There is something just wrong. I can barely see what I’ve just typed at all.
Also what I can red the instruction are a little be confusing at the first part. If I didn’t know how to make the roll part I would be lost. Just my take.
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Wanda. I’m not sure why you’re seeing things so tiny. I checked on different computers and on my phone — I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. Sorry I can’t be of better help. Also, I added a photo of the roll and slices for further clarification of the jelly roll process. Merry Christmas!
Pam says
They look so yummy! I’m going to make them later in the week after I get some Karo syrup. My daughter and son-in-law are visiting so the rolls will make a perfect treat for breakfast!
Andrea says
What size pan are you using to bake these in? Can’t wait to try these! Happy Christmas and New Year!
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Andrea!! It’s 9″ round cake pan. Enjoy! Hugs.
Barb says
Very good basic recipe to help me make what I wanted. I used dark Carol syrup, a tiny bit of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. I chopped pecans to add them to the rolls, then placed whole pecans in the bottom of the pan before adding the dough. I needed to bake just a bit longer, maybe 14 minutes. Great way to jazz up this recipe, but not as cheap for college students.
Barb says
Spell check #%&. Karo
Donna says
Followed exactly. I had to keep the rolls in for 16 minutes and cover with foil because the tops were brown but the dough was not baked through. Finally, just took them out. Inverted on a plate, dough not done Disappointing. They did look good just not edible.
