Ingredients

For the Skewers

  • 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls - The fluffy star of this dish; use your favorite brand.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries - These juicy gems add sweetness; can be swapped for peaches.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries - Perfectly complements cinnamon; can use raspberries.
  • 1 large banana - Offers great texture; can substitute with kiwi or mango.

For the Cinnamon Butter

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter - Adds richness; olive oil can be a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - Brings warmth; pumpkin spice can be used for a twist.

For Drizzling

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup - An optional drizzle for added sweetness; honey works too.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Unroll the refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into thirds to create bite-sized pieces perfect for skewering.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Thread the cinnamon roll pieces onto skewers, alternating with strawberries, banana slices, and blueberries for a colorful and flavorful combination.
  4. Make Cinnamon Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with ground cinnamon and whisk until well blended to create a flavorful glaze.
  5. Brush Skewers: Brush the assembled skewers generously with the cinnamon butter mixture to add richness and a warm cinnamon aroma.
  6. Bake: Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for even cooking. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Drizzle: Remove from the oven and drizzle the skewers with the icing that comes with the cinnamon roll package for a finishing sweet touch.

Notes

  • Enjoy fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture; the cinnamon rolls are most tender right out of the oven.
  • Customize the fruits based on seasonality or your preference for a unique touch, such as swapping strawberries for peaches or blueberries for raspberries.
  • Olive oil can be used instead of butter for a dairy-free cinnamon butter alternative.
  • Maple syrup drizzle is optional – honey or agave syrup can also be used as alternatives.
