    Chocolate Cinnamon Croissants

    Jump to Recipe

    These Super Simple Chocolate Cinnamon Croissants are a speedy weekend breakfast treat that the entire family is sure to love.

    When you serve your family these easy-to-make breakfast croissants, they'll feel like they've just stayed at the finest Bed and Breakfast. Then, after they're done eating, tell them to hit the road for the day so you can have the house to yourself. HaHa! Just like the finest Bed and Breakfast. I'm kidding of course...or am I? *wink*

    Cinnamon Sugar Croissants

    Since these chocolate cinnamon croissants take advantage of the canned, refrigerated, crescent rolls this is the perfect recipe for the kids to help you make, or even make all by themselves (depending on their age of course). After all, what kid (or adult for that matter) doesn't like sprinkling cinnamon sugar and chocolate chips on things?

    Easy Breakfast Croissants with Cinnamon

    The step-by-step photo instructions:

    Pop open a can of store-bought refrigerated crescent rolls (I used the Grand's size, but you can use smaller ones) and lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each triangle of dough with melted butter and sprinkle each liberally with cinnamon, sugar, and chocolate chips.

    How to make chocolate cinnamon croissants

     Starting at the widest end, roll the dough and form it into a crescent shape. Brush the top of each roll with additional melted butter and a final sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar. Bake the croissants in a preheated 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

    Save this for later.
