# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 can Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (with frosting packet)
02 -
8 strips thick-cut bacon
→ Candied Bacon Coating
03 -
2 tbsp brown sugar
04 -
1/4 cup maple syrup
→ Maple Glaze
05 -
1 tbsp maple syrup
06 -
Frosting packet from cinnamon rolls
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange bacon strips on the foil-lined pan and bake for 15 minutes.
02 -
Remove bacon from oven and brush each strip with a mixture of brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup, coating both sides thoroughly. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes until crispy and caramelized.
03 -
Set aside the bacon to cool and reduce oven temperature to 350°F. The bacon will continue to crisp as it cools.
04 -
Chop the candied bacon into small pieces. Unroll each cinnamon roll and place bacon pieces along the inside, spacing them about an inch apart. Re-roll the cinnamon rolls and place them in a greased round cake pan, reserving half the bacon for topping.
05 -
Bake the stuffed cinnamon rolls according to package directions, approximately 13-17 minutes until golden brown.
06 -
While rolls bake, whisk together the frosting packet with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to create a sweet maple glaze.
07 -
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, drizzle generously with the maple glaze and sprinkle the remaining chopped candied bacon on top. Serve warm for the ultimate breakfast treat.
# Notes:
01 -
Using thick-cut bacon works best as it holds up better when chopped and mixed into the rolls
02 -
The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools, so don't worry if it seems soft when hot
03 -
These are best served warm when the glaze is still gooey and the bacon is at its crispiest
04 -
You can prep the candied bacon the night before and store it covered at room temperature
