Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack Crescent roll sheet This is sold as a sheet, but if you cannot find it, you can buy crescent rolls and use a roller to smooth out the perforated edges to create a rectangle.
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted you can also use coconut oil if you want this to be vegan.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk you can also use almond milk if you want this to be vegan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375F
  • Grease a 10 x 7.5 rectangle baking dish, you can also use a 9" x 6" dish or anything similar.
  • Roll out your crescent roll dough. It should be in the shape of a rectangle.
  • Combine your butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture over the dough evenly.
  • Starting from the shorter side, roll up your dough so that it is in the shape of a log. Cut it in half, then cut each half in half, and then finally cut each piece in half again so that you have 8 equal rolls. Please the rolls evenly spaced apart in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden brown all over
  • While it is baking, make your frosting by stirring the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Once your cinnamon rolls are done baking, drizzle your frosting over the rolls and enjoy.
