Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can Cinnamon Rolls (any brand as long as it unravels)
  • 15 to 20 sausage links
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Heat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    Unravel each of the 5 cinnamon rolls and cut the dough into 3 or 4 equal pieces.
  3. Wrap the Sausages:
    Wrap one piece of dough around each sausage link, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake:
    Bake the pigs in a blanket for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough turns golden brown.
  5. Make the Glaze:
    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup. Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Serve:
    Drizzle the glaze over the pigs in a blanket and serve warm. Enjoy these delightful bites as a fun breakfast or brunch option!

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the glaze before drizzling it over the pigs in a blanket.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Simply bake them fresh in the morning.
  • If you prefer a spicier option, use spicy breakfast sausage links for a sweet and savory kick.
