Buy the loaves of frozen bread dough that they sell fairly reasonably in the freezer section of your grocery store. Thaw out a couple loaves at a time. When thawed flatten them out into rectangles on buttered pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and add raisins and nuts if you would like too. Then dot evenly with butter. Roll the rectangle into a log and pinch the dough shut. Cut in approximately two inches slices. Arrange one dozen slices in a well butter 9 by 13 inch cake pan cover loosely with plastic wrap and set pan in warm area until they rise to about twice their size. Then bake in 325 degree oven until the tops are a light golden brown. Remove from oven and turn out or over on to a sheet of wax paper. Let them set until cooled. This should make about two dozen cinnamon rolls. These freeze well and can be warmed in microwave or oven again before serving. You can adjust the filling to your taste. If you like them very gooey add more brown sugar and butter or less if you prefer them not as sweet.

Here are a few ideas that the kids may enjoy.
Pillsbury has their own line of Cinnamon Rolls, which I can tell you from experience are delicious. They also come with the icing, so you only need to worry about cleaning the dish that you bake the rolls in and the knife you use to spread the icing.
For something different, if you have a waffle machine, you can butter 2 slices of bread on one side, put peanut butter, on the inside (of what will be the bottom slice) of one slice and fill this wafflewich with bananas, berries, apple, raisins, or even regular old jelly. I know as a kid, I used to love when the peanut butter got gooey. It's a great way to get some fruit and protein into their diet in the morning if they aren't big on eggs.
If they DO like eggs, another favorite of mine is "eggs in a basket". Soften up your butter in the microwave first, it will make life easier in the near future. Butter your bread with the softened butter. Cut the center out of a slice of bread with a round cookie cutter, small glass, shot glass (preferrably something that will give you a good sized hole in your bread, but not breaching the crust.
You can either do fried eggs or scrambled, with or without extras. Place your holey slice of bread in a non-stick pan on med/high. If you want a fried egg, place a small dab of butter in the hole and drop in a whole egg. You could also beat the separately with some meat-bacon, sausage, etc., or vegetables-pepper, tomato or cheese-cheddar, swiss and make a yummy scramble in your "basket".
Add a little salt and pepper to the egg.
Once the egg is mostly cooked and the bread is toasty, flip your egg in a basket.
Cook egg thoroughly...and devour!
Hope these ideas help! Happy cooking.

Well I suppose the easiest way would be to simply buy the ones from the grocery store and throw them in the oven. That is simple and easy.
Other than that you can prepare them in the evening so all you have to do is make them in the morning. Here's a good recipe............
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup white sugar
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
FILLING:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
GLAZE:
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted; let cool until lukewarm. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk mixture. Add the sugar, 3 cups of flour, salt and eggs; stir well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 10x 14 inch rectangle. Lightly brush the far edge with water. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and 3/4 cup brown sugar and sprinkle over the rectangles. Then sprinkle the raisins and chopped nuts over the dough. Roll up the dough into a log and seal the seam.
Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces; place the pieces in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, or 12 inch deep dish pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rise overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 375. Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, combine the corn syrup with the vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar and enough cream to make a thick glaze; set aside. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve warm.

Even easier, use the biscuits that are pre-made. Dip each in butter and put each in a muffin cup over brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins....bake as usual.....very good. We also use a bit of caramel ice cream topping sometimes instead of brown sugar. Pop 'em in the oven while everyone is getting ready!
