Simple Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

These Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls combine classic Pillsbury cinnamon rolls with sweet maple glaze and smoky bacon for an irresistibly rich, savory-sweet breakfast treat.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with icing
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup for glaze
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup for icing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Place bacon on the sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until mostly cooked but still flexible. Cool on paper towels.
  • Open cinnamon rolls, separate, and let sit at room temp for 5 minutes. Set icing aside.
  • Simmer brown sugar and ¼ cup maple syrup in a saucepan over medium-low heat until thickened (2–3 mins).
  • Dip bacon in the glaze, coating both sides. Let excess drip off.
  • Line or grease a 9-inch round dish. Spread half of the remaining glaze on the bottom.
  • Wrap each cinnamon roll with a glazed bacon slice. Trim if needed. Arrange in the dish with space between each.
  • Drizzle leftover glaze lightly over and around the rolls (avoid soaking the tops).
  • Bake for 25–30 mins until rolls are golden and bacon is crisp. Toothpick should come out clean.
  • Mix icing with 1 tbsp maple syrup and drizzle over warm rolls. Garnish with extra crumbled bacon if desired.
