Ten Minute Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls - You can make the easiest, most scrumptious cinnamon rolls in just ten minutes or less thanks to one of my favorite shortcuts! Did you guess puff pastry? Buttery and flaky, puff pastry is one of the best things to happen. Ever. All you need to do to make them is brush a little melted butter over thawed puff pastry, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, roll it up, slice and bake. Top while still warm with icing made from confectioners’ sugar, milk and a dash of vanilla. Less than ten minutes of work for warm, fragrant cinnamon rolls dripping with sweet icing. Life is good. You can make them the night before and bake them off in the morning to impress your family – they’ll think you woke up extra early to make them. I won’t tell unless you do.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :

Do I have to refrigerate the roll before slicing?
Nope! But if you have an extra 15–20 minutes, it’ll make the slices a little neater. Totally optional.

Can I make these ahead of time?
They’re best fresh, but you can prep and roll the pastry ahead, refrigerate it, and bake when ready. Icing is best added right before serving.

Can I use store-bought frosting instead?
Sure! But this glaze takes just a minute and tastes amazing. Totally worth it.

Can I add nuts or raisins?
Absolutely! Sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins over the brown sugar before rolling it up.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Pop them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm them in a low oven (around 300°F) until heated through.

Servings rolls

Ingredients

1 puff pastry sheet 9x9, thawed

2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup light brown sugar

Icing:

1 + ½ cups confectioners' sugar
about 1 tablespoon milk
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a small baking sheet with parchment paper or generously grease it.
Roll the puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface.
Brush the butter over it from edge to edge.

Sprinkle the cinnamon over the butter from edge to edge followed by the brown sugar.
Press it down lightly with the palm of your hands to help it adhere to the butter.
Roll it up. If you have time, refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Using a serrated knife slice into 8 equal pieces and lay it on the parchment paper - barely touching.
Bake 16 minutes.
Make the icing: whisk the sugar, milk and vanilla together - add more sugar or milk if needed to get the right consistency.

Spoon over the rolls and use the back of the spoon to spread it out.
Devour. Be happy. 🙂

These puff pastry cinnamon rolls are the answer to every last-minute brunch, sweet craving, or lazy Sunday morning. They taste like you spent way more time than you actually did, and nobody ever guesses they start with frozen pastry.

Next time you’ve got a sheet of puff pastry and a sweet tooth, give these a try. And if you drizzle on a little extra icing? I fully support that decision.
