Sometimes you need an easy breakfast that everyone will enjoy without taking all morning to prepare it. These little Peach Cinnamon Roll Cups come together in no time at all. You are only two-ingredients away from having them on your table.
We had to crack down on our kiddos. The sleeping in was getting pretty ridiculous. No one should be in bad until 11 am, unless they are sick or injured. Am I right?
A month of doing nothing is a good amount of time for kids to relax after working hard all school year. At least, that's what we are going with. Now they officially have a wake up time, cleanliness routine, daily chore list, and Bible study to do. If this is done each day, they will be allowed an hour of electronics. We are so tired of hearing them ask all.day.long if they can be on some sort of TV or game unit or phone when nothing else is getting done.
Any guess on how day one went?
Day one came and went and did anyone get up at the time they were given? Nope, not even one of them made it. They did the rest of the list...sort of.
When they wanted to get on the gaming units and TV, we went over the requirements for the day. That put a damper on the fun because every single one of them missed something from their list.
We shall see how day two goes...maybe a fun breakfast treat will help lure them out of bed on time. Although the threat of all electronics going bye, bye for the summer might work even better.
There are some days when I get a fun idea for a delicious homemade cinnamon roll or Nutella twist, and then there are those days when an easy, peasy danish is in order. Seriously! You only need 2 ingredients in order to have this breakfast in your house. Canned cinnamon rolls and pie filling!!!
1. Remove the 5 cinnamon rolls from the packaging and cut them in half, lengthwise. (You want to end up with 10 rolls.) Make sure you get the Cinnabon Grands for these cups.
2. Press each roll into the bottom and sides of a greased muffin tin.
3. Fill each one with spoonful of pie filling. (if the peaches are large, use a knife to dice them up)
4. Bake, drizzle, eat!!!
I used a peach pie filling that I had leftover in my cupboard. The best part of this recipe is that you can use your favorite filling here! It is a good day when I can use up ingredients I already have on hand. I make far too many grocery store runs for crazy ideas!
I have a few more different pie fillings waiting in the cupboards...I see more cinnamon roll cups in our very near breakfast future. Unfortunately I will need to go to the store for more cinnamon rolls...

OMGosh Jocelyn, these look incredible. I can just imagine biting into that and getting a pop of peach!
Kelly - Life Made Sweeter
These adorable rolls would definitely get me out of bed any day! They look fantastic and I love the peach filling! Love how easy they are to whip up too! Hope day 2 goes better 🙂
Michelle @ My California Kitchen
Peach cinnamon rolls! And they are so cute and tiny! That is what I will tell myself and I eat 2...or 3..in one sitting. 🙂
Jocelyn
Yes!!! They are so easy to eat a few at a time!!!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg
I love how simple this recipe is! Thank you for sharing, Jocelyn. I don't know how anyone can sleep late in the morning. When I wake up at 9:00 in the morning, I feel like I've wasted half of my day. I'm an early bird though. I prefer to get my errands and workouts done early, so that I can sit back and relax for the rest of my day during weekends or breaks. 🙂
Jocelyn
As much as I like sleeping in, I agree getting up and moving makes me feel so much better about my day! But when you are a kid and have chores to look forward too, I guess sleeping in wins out over anything else. LOL!
Julie @ Julie's Eats & Treats
Yeeesssssss...... these looks amazing and so EASY!
Elle @ Only Taste Matters
I'm guessing the boys will be on board by the end of the week. Have faith! These cinnamon rolls are an incredible incentive to wake up. I know I'd get up for them!
Jocelyn
I think the threat of taking away tv and gaming units won them over to our summer routine. LOL!
Medha @ Whisk & Shout
Peaches just scream summer! This is such a perfect and summery breakfast or dessert... love it!
Jocelyn
Thank you!!!!
Lauren Kelly Nutrition
These would definitely get me out of bed in the morning! Love everything peach these days 🙂
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting
Ummmm I am notorious for sleeping till 11am from the time I was a teenager until well, now. My dad would get so mad at me; he would constantly try and wake me up and I wasn't even having it. But I also didn't get cinnamon rolls when I woke up, sooooo, there's that.
Jocelyn
Yeah, cinnamon rolls don't really do much for my kiddos. They just eat them for lunch! LOL!
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel
I know these would get me out of bed in the morning! Lol. I dream of the day my kids want to sleep until 11am -- my 3 year old is up regularly at 6-6:30. Every. Single. Day. I'll need a batch of these just to get through the day!
Jocelyn
Oh, my goodness! I have been very blessed with 3 kids who like to sleep in as much as we do!!! You definitely need sweet rolls and coffee to keep you going!
Meg
Wow, I can't believe how simple this recipe is! What a great way to combine two very delicious flavors. This is honestly guest-worthy and they will have no idea how simple it really was.
I'm making your spicy parmesan ranch chicken tenders tonight for dinner and can't wait to see how they turn out!
Jocelyn
Easy simple recipes are the best!!! No one would even know these were 2 ingredients 🙂
Amanda
These look so amazing! Perfect way to start the day! 🙂
Chandra@The Plaid & Paisley Kitchen
Oh I am so glad to know that I am not the only one dealing with kids that won't do chores in a timely manner! Only my kid is 22!!!!!
Let us know how day 2 goes with this yummy breakfast treat. Maybe bribery will work!
Jocelyn
I wish I could report that the sweet rolls worked, but sleeping in and not doing work without complaining is still going on. It's a work in progress!
Melanie @ Carmel Moments
I'm still enjoying the sleeping in part here for my kids. We're on week 2 and I love not hearing anyone before 9 am!
We just had a meeting though and a list/board is being structured for jobs that need done, bedrooms that need cleaned etc. Can't let them laze around all day.
New routines are hard though. I'm not great at it myself but by forcing myself it then becomes routine. Hope day #2 and #3 go better for you!
Love the peach cups. Yum in my tum!
Jocelyn
I'm enjoying those early morning hours when everyone is still sleeping too! Good to know we are not the only parents adding chores to the summer routine!!
Mir
Good for you! Tough love rocks. Even when kids are giving you the glare to end all glares. And you can always withhold baked goods if they don't comply along with gaming systems!
These look fantastic. I'd get up at 6 for these!
Jocelyn
Haha! Sadly taking away the gaming devices is much more effective than taking away sweets. They know I will just make something else they can eat!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
I hope these little cuties got your kids up and ready to go, Jocelyn! This is such a delicious and easy breakfast! I love that it's just two ingredients. Sounds so good, especially with the peaches on top!
Jocelyn
Thanks, Gayle. I wish the treats really did get them up and moving...sadly they are used to sweets all the time. It doesn't phase them! LOL!
