01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 pinch brown sugar, or more to taste 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste Icing: 1 tablespoon skim milk 1 teaspoon maple syrup ¾ cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Roll out the crescent dough on your counter and separate it into two parts along the perforations. Brush each piece with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll each piece up into a log and cut each log into 8 slices. Pop the slices into the muffin cups, then bake them for about 8 minutes, until they’re golden and puffy. While the rolls are baking, whisk together some milk and maple syrup in a bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar until you get a smooth, drizzle-able icing. Once the rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the icing over the top and enjoy!
