Quick and easy Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls that only take a few minutes to prepare but taste like you spent hours making them! 

Holiday Breakfast Ideas — Week 5

Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away?  It actually makes me a little sad. I love all the hustle and bustle of this time of year.  Before we know it, Christmas will be over and a new year will begin.

As we head into the final weekend before Christmas, it’s time to finish our last minute preparations.  If you are you still looking for some ideas for Christmas morning that doesn’t requires a lot of fuss, you are going to love this idea.  These Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls are so easy to make.  As much as I love from scratch baked goods, being a busy mom I also like to take short cuts here and there. 

Using a tube of crescent rolls make these Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls come together in a snap.  I love blackberry spread or preserves, but the best part is you can use any kind of fruit spread you like.  Some of my other favorites this time of year is pomegranate,fig and even orange marmalade.

These take about 30 minutes from start to finish to have hot and yummy Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls to enjoy with your coffee or Christmas morning.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
