Easy Cinnamon Roll Twists is a quick and easy recipe made from refrigerator biscuits that we enjoy serving for brunch. It is so sweet and delightful! And especially fun to make with little hands.

Let’s face it–we don’t always have time to bake or cook the things we want to for our families. If you find yourself without time to make homemade cinnamon rolls, this recipe is a great option. All it takes is a few ingredients common to most households. If you have a can of refrigerator biscuits, you most likely have everything else you’ll need.

Plus, if you have little ones at home, or planning a visit with your grands, you’ll want to get out the little aprons and mini rolling pins (like the one pictured above) so you can make this with them. It’s perfect for little hands, and they love eating the yummy miniature twists!

Ingredients Needed to Make Easy Cinnamon Roll Twists

refrigerator buttermilk biscuits

Instructions on Making this Recipe
