Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 12 mini sausages
- 1/4 cup icing (included in dough package)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough package. Carefully unroll the dough and separate each individual cinnamon roll.
- Gently flatten each cinnamon roll with your hands or a rolling pin, creating a slightly larger and thinner circular shape that can fully wrap around a mini sausage.
- Take a mini sausage and place it at one edge of the flattened cinnamon roll dough. Carefully roll the dough around the sausage, ensuring it is completely covered and sealed.
- Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each piece to allow for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and the sausages are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle the included icing over the warm cinnamon roll pigs in a blanket, creating a sweet and decorative finish.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately as a delightful breakfast or appetizer.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the cinnamon roll dough and sausages in advance. Just roll and wrap them, then store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to get creative! Try using flavored sausages or adding a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top before baking for an extra sweet touch.
- Perfectly Golden: Keep an eye on the baking time. Ovens can vary, so check for a golden brown color and make sure the sausages are heated through.
- Icing Alternatives: If you're looking for a twist, consider drizzling the pigs in a blanket with maple syrup or honey instead of the icing for a deliciously different flavor.
- Serve Warm: These treats are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm for a delightful breakfast or appetizer experience that everyone will love!
