Cinnamon Roll Twists with Cream Cheese Filling

On a lazy weekend morning, I love to surprise my family with something special. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen making it, however.  Sometimes just using the simplest of ingredients prepared in a slightly different way can be downright magical.

And while you might be thinking, “Did she just say breakfast can be magical? Really?”, but trust me. If you tried one of these amazing little cinnamon roll twists, I’m sure you’d agree that magical is a great description.

The only surprising part about these twists is how simple they are to make. So try them with your family. Make them on a lazy Saturday morning and enjoy them with a cup of coffee.

    This would be fun to have kids help with…so simple and delish. Hubby often goes to the bakery on Sunday to get rolls and they are SOOooo expensive and also TOO big to be eating at once. This must be very inexpensive too…and I know they have sales on these rolls a lot.
    You take SUCH great food photos girl!

    I already make the round Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for my family. I like this new twist shape and the addition of cream cheese and chopped pecans. They look yummy and fancier. I’m going to make these on Sunday morning. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    Love Cinnamon rolls but adding cream cheese would make them even better and less sweet tasting.
