• Cook the sausages before baking them in the dough. This will ensure the sausages are cooked all the way through without overcooking the dough.
• Drizzle the tops with maple syrup instead of icing.
• Use maple or turkey sausage instead of regular Italian sausage links.
• Make your own cinnamon roll dough instead of using pre-packaged dough.

Serve a breakfast sausage roll with other breakfast dishes for a hearty meal. They also make a great afternoon snack for your kids.

Keep your cinnamon roll pigs in a blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days

To reheat them, pop one in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until it’s warm all the way through.

You can also reheat them in an air fryer, making the dough crispy again.

Make these savory and sweet cinnamon rolls up to one day in advance. It’s possibly better to wrap the sausages with the dough and put them in the fridge until the morning. Then, all you need to do is put them on a baking sheet and bake them for a quick breakfast.

What kind of sausages are best for cinnamon breakfast rolls?

The best kind of sausages to use are Italian breakfast sausage links.

How long does it take to bake cinnamon roll breakfast sausages?

These individual cinnamon rolls with sausages only take about 12 minutes to bake. Keep an eye on them and pull them out when they are golden brown.

Can I freeze cinnamon roll sausages?

These savory cinnamon rolls are best served fresh. They don’t do as well when frozen and thawed after they’ve been baked.

You can, however, freeze them before baking. To do this, wrap the sausages in the dough, place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and put the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

This will prevent the dough from being sticky and the wrapped sausages from sticking together. Once they’ve been slightly frozen, remove them from the sheet pan, put them in a large freezer bag or an airtight container, and put them back in the freezer.
