We absolutely love this easy recipe. The boys request that I make cinnamon buns all the time so anytime that I can make them festive, I will!
What could be better than hot, gooey homemade cinnamon rolls straight from the oven?! These easy heart shaped cinnamon buns are so fun to make for Valentines! Let me show you how…
Cinnamon roll recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 – 17.5 oz containers of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
- Non stick baking spray
- 1 Tbsp Valentines sprinkles
Tip: homemade cream cheese icing can also be added to the top of the casserole but using the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls is just as good in our opinion! We’ve tried different brands but Pillsbury rolls are always better than any other store brand.
Directions:
1. Open the two cans of dough and set aside the icing. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Unroll each of the large cinnamon rolls almost to the center. Then roll about 2″ of the other end into a small spiral. Press the two rolled ends together and pull the remaining dough into a “v”, creating a heart shape.
3. Spray a 10″ round casserole dish with cooking spray. Place rolls into the dish with the dough “v” at the center.
Note: a baking pan or cookie sheet can be used to cook these as well.
4. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
5. Spread icing over the warm cinnamon buns.
6. Top with valentines sprinkles and serve warm.
This is the perfect dish for breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day. Pair warm cinnamon rolls with ice cream, chocolate dipped strawberries or these chocolate dipped apples.
Anything that I can basically just throw in the oven is a win in my books! Like this amazing cinnamon roll casserole recipe that the kids love, it makes the whole house smell amazing.
I have even created this Keto Overnight French Toast Casserole for my keto loving self! Trust me when I say that it is just as delicious as the original french toast bake!
How to store these cinnamon rolls:
If you have leftovers of this recipe, which is highly unlikely, you can store them in an airtight container (or covered in plastic wrap) at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to one week.
This is our new favorite simple recipe to make for Valentine’s Day morning breakfast. It’s a big hit with the entire family and the perfect way to feed a crowd on busy mornings.
Cinnamon roll variations:
- Add apple pie and brown sugar filling to the base of the casserole dish to make apple cinnamon roll casserole.
- Place the ingredients into an air fryer basket to make air fryer cinnamon rolls.
- Refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours before cooking to create an overnight breakfast casserole.
- Place the ingredients into a slow cooker and cook for 2 hours on the low setting to create crock pot cinnamon rolls.
- Another favorite is drizzling caramel sauce or maple syrup overtop for a truly sweet treat.
This would also be great served with strawberries and whipped cream or walnut and caramel! It’s the ultimate brunch dish, delicious dessert or special holiday treat.
