A quick and easy recipe for cooking gooey, golden cinnamon rolls in a cast iron skillet over a campfire, perfect for a cozy camping breakfast or sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Non-stick spray or oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the campfire and let it burn down to hot coals (5-10 minutes). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, coating bottom and sides.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and remove the icing packet. Place rolls in the skillet, spacing evenly but close enough to touch.
  3. Sprinkle optional ground cinnamon and brown sugar over the rolls if desired.
  4. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place on campfire grill grate over hot coals.
  5. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the skillet every 5 minutes for even heat distribution.
  6. Check for doneness: rolls should be golden brown on edges and cooked through. Remove cover for last 3-5 minutes if tops need browning.
  7. Remove skillet from fire carefully using tongs or oven mitts. Drizzle included icing over warm rolls.
  8. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then serve directly from the skillet using a spatula.

Notes

Use hot coals instead of flames to avoid burning. Rotate skillet every 5 minutes for even cooking. Grease skillet well with butter for flavor and easy cleanup. Can be baked in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes if no campfire is available. Variations include adding fresh fruit, nuts, or using dairy-free butter substitutes.
