Description
Easy Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket made with cinnamon rolls, sausage links, and maple glaze—perfect for brunch or busy mornings!
Ingredients
- 1 can Cinnamon Rolls (any brand as long as it unravels)
- 15 to 20 sausage links
- 4 Tablespoons Challenge Butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prep the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them.
Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll into a long strip of dough.
Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut each strip into 3 to 4 equal sections, depending on how many sausage links you plan to use. (Cut into 4 sections if you want more pieces; 3 sections for a thicker wrap.)
Wrap the Sausages
Take a pre-cooked sausage link and place it at one end of a cinnamon roll strip.
Gently roll the dough around the sausage, wrapping it snugly but not too tight to allow for expansion during baking.
Repeat until all sausages are wrapped.
Bake
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Make the Maple Glaze
While the pigs in a blanket are baking, melt 4 tablespoons of Challenge Butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Stir in 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 cup powdered sugar.
Whisk until smooth and pourable. Add a few drops of milk if needed for consistency.
Glaze and Serve
Once the pigs in a blanket are baked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
Drizzle the warm maple glaze generously over the top of each roll.
Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
Make sure cinnamon rolls are the kind that unroll easily; avoid those that are pre-cut into small discs.
For a crisper exterior, brush wrapped sausages lightly with melted butter before baking.
These are best served fresh, but still tasty reheated.
