These Bacon Breakfast Rolls with Maple Glaze are out-of-this-world amazing!! This recipe has the magical pairing of salty and sweet with bacon baked into the cinnamon roll!
I have the craziest ideas sometimes while I’m running! I told y’all that’s when I clear my head… or think about the day, projects, FOOD!
So this morning I was thinking about bacon. I know, crazy!
More specifically, I was thinking about how much Ryder loves bacon. That thought ran into trying an experiment on him to see how many days he would eat bacon before he didn’t want it anymore. (I like test experiments on the kids! It’s my prerogative!) THAT thought ran into the bacon craze… bacon in chocolate, bacon in cupcakes, bacon in brown sugar, bacon marinated in TEA!, and………….
wait for it……………….. bacon in Cinnamon Rolls!!!
WHAT?!?! That’s a crazy thought, I tell myself. Wait a minute… it could actually be good!
hmmm…. Am I actually thinking about seriously, seriously doing this?
YES! I decided it could be VERY good and my almost-ten-year-old-more-picky-than-anyone son declared, “This is the best breakfast I’ve EVER had!!!”
Whoa – I think I just fainted………………..

Place in a oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size (about 2 - 2 1/2 hours).
- When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out or press with fingers the dough until approximately 15 x 9 inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Sprinkle bacon over butter. Beginning on long, 15 inch, side roll up. Pinch dough at seam and ends to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
