Make Your Own Grinch Cinnamon Rolls

Grinch breakfast ideas like these Grinch cinnamon rolls really bring the magic. And they’re so easy to make yet everyone will think you spent longer putting them together. 

If you’ve ever baked a tube of cinnamon rolls, you know that the hardest part is opening the package. Wait for that pop to scare you half to death, then arrange them on your non-stick baking sheet. You’ll preheat the oven as instructed on the package and follow the baking directions.

Once you slide them into the oven, you’ll take that frosting from the package and mix in the green food coloring until you get that nice, Grinchy color to it. 

When you hear that familiar ding of your oven timer telling you the cinnamon rolls are ready, get them from the oven and arrange them on a plate. Cover them generously with plenty of green Grinchy frosting. 

And then add the finishing touch…a tiny little candy heart or sprinkle. These couldn’t be any cuter! Perfect for Grinch breakfast ideas you can serve on Christmas morning, as a treat for your child’s class, after school for a snack, or any time you want to bring the holiday spirit with a delicious gift that shows how big your heart truly is. All the steps below give you more details on how to make these Grinch cinnamon rolls!
