Weekend brunch is a long standing tradition in my family, as it is for many. Sleep in on Sunday and wake up to make some delicious comfort food in pajamas is a weekly moment I look forward to. Weekend brunch doesn’t have to be a complicated process. Sometimes, keeping it extra simple with these Cinnamon Roll Crescents, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and some juice hits the spot and always makes the whole family happy. I mean, is there a child (or adult at that matter) out there that complains about cinnamon rolls? If there is, I haven’t met them yet!
Cinnamon Roll Crescents
Cinnamon Roll Crescents are everything you love from a traditional cinnamon roll. These are soft and fluffy with just the right amount of cinnamon and brown sugar just without all the work that goes into a homemade cinnamon roll or the long wait time waiting for dough to rise! Major win for weekend brunch with the family.
