Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding a touch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute margarine with coconut oil. You can also use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits for a flakier texture. To make these vegan, use a plant-based biscuit and margarine. Experiment with adding chocolate chips or dried fruits for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm for a delightful breakfast treat. These cinnamon twists pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices, and a cup of coffee or tea. For a more substantial meal, consider serving alongside a fruit salad, like the Fruit Salad(Original Recipe) or Annie'S E Z Fruit Salad, for a colorful and nutritious breakfast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them chewy rather than crispy.
