Ingredient for Blackstone Griddle Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon Rolls on the Blackstone are super simple and only require one ingredient:
- Can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls – that’s all you need – although you might wanna grab a couple cans – I got the Grands just to make sure they were BIG!
You can use any kind of cinnamon rolls – obviously – the smaller the roll – the smaller the smash.
How to make Smashed Blackstone Cinnamon Rolls
As with most Blackstone recipes – it goes quick! I highly recommend using LOW HEAT! A couple of my cinnamon rolls were a little crispier than I would have liked (but Icing fixes that!).
- Heat griddle on medium – keep the flame low!
- Sprinkle light coat of oil across griddle
- You can also use butter or bacon grease for more flavor
- Open cinnamon roll tube and lay down canned cinnamon rolls across preheated griddle leaving plenty of space between them for pressing
- Using a heavy spatula or burger press, press cinnamon rolls flat on the first side.
- Best to lay a sheet of parchment paper on each roll before pressing so they don’t stick. If you don’t have that – just use another griddle spatula to slip off.
- Heat for 1-2 minutes and flip when golden brown. WATCH CLOSELY as they cook super fast! Cooking times will vary slightly based on the thickness of the cinnamon roll.
- Heat for 1-2 minutes more until that side is golden brown perfection.
- Remove cinnamon rolls and drizzle with icing
