Pineapple Breakfast Rolls

Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the brown sugar and butter in an 8 or 9-inch square pan.
- Add drained crushed pineapple and cinnamon; mix well.
- Place the biscuits on top of the pineapple mixture.
- Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes or until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding some chopped walnuts or pecans to the pineapple mixture. If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute with white sugar and a tablespoon of molasses for a similar taste. Ensure the biscuits are evenly spaced on top for even baking. For a more caramelized top, leave the rolls in the oven for an additional minute or two.
Serving Suggestions
These Pineapple Breakfast Rolls make a delightful breakfast paired with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. They can also be enjoyed as a sweet snack with a cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. They pair beautifully with Fruited Oat Scones for a brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their fluffy texture rather than using the microwave, which may make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but ensure to finely chop and drain it well to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the right consistency in the mixture. Fresh pineapple adds a vibrant flavor that can enhance the dish.
What can I use instead of biscuits?
If you don't have biscuits, you can use crescent roll dough or even homemade biscuit dough. Both will give a deliciously flaky texture. Just be sure to adjust the baking time according to the dough you choose to ensure they are properly cooked.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pineapple mixture and place it in the pan, then top it with the biscuits just before baking. Cover the pan and refrigerate it overnight. When ready to serve, just bake as directed, and enjoy fresh rolls in no time.
