These Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Skewers transform a simple breakfast into a fun and fruity brunch treat. Featuring fluffy cinnamon roll pieces threaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices, then brushed with a cinnamon butter glaze and baked to golden perfection, they are a delightful and easy-to-make morning meal.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 skewers

Ingredients

For the Skewers

  • 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (use your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (can be swapped for peaches)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (can use raspberries)
  • 1 large banana (can substitute with kiwi or mango)

For the Cinnamon Butter

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (olive oil can be a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (pumpkin spice can be used for a twist)

For Drizzling

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, 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 slices of strawberries, banana, and blueberries to create a colorful and balanced pattern.
  4. Make Cinnamon Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with ground cinnamon and whisk until well blended, forming a fragrant glaze.
  5. Brush Skewers: Generously brush the assembled skewers with the cinnamon butter mixture to add richness and warmth to every bite.
  6. Bake: Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cinnamon roll pieces are puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Drizzle and Serve: Remove the skewers from the oven and drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll package or with maple syrup for extra sweetness. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Enjoy fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture.
  • Customize the fruit selection based on seasonality or preference for a personalized twist.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute melted butter with olive oil.
  • Use pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon in the butter for a seasonal variation.
  • Maple syrup drizzle is optional but adds a lovely sweetness; honey can be used as an alternative.
