Quick Cinnamon Rolls - No Yeast

This recipe is absolutely amazing! These are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Here are a few changes that I made (and no that doesn't diminish the recipe it's just using sense folks.)

1. add an egg to recipe
2. don't confuse baking soda with baking powder :0)
3. add a TON more powdered sugar to glaze recipe
4. use a lot of flour when rolling out so it doesn't stick to rolling board when you're trying to roll up the dough.

(number 1 and arguably number 3 are corrections I think should be made to the recipe)
(numbers 2-4 are just common sense folks)

Enjoy!

I thought it was rude of the other lady to talk so bad about the rolls when it was her mistake for using baking SODA instead of POWDER. This is a great recipe for the kids. My sister is not a cook so it was great to see her doing this with the kids helping. They are not the best but the kids loved eating what they had just made. I agree that taking them out early would have made them softer. The glaze was liquidy so we added more powdered sugar than the recipe said. We'll make them again for sure.

Just made these for a late evening wintry snack! Read all reviews first, so made these corrections: added one egg to the dough, cut the baking powder back to 3 teaspoons. Also used bread flour instead of all purpose flour for a bit more "poof". Before I sprinkled the rolled out dough with the sugar & cinnamon mixture, I spread butter on the dough. May have been a mistake for the baking part of it, but not for the taste! They were VERY bubbly while baking, and wound up spilling over in the oven. Still, very good and easy! Love them!!!

We were all craving something home baked, so I decided to try this recipe because it was the first cinnamon roll recipe without yeast that popped up. I'm so glad I made it because it will be our new go to one. Although I did make cream cheese frosting to top them. What a treat! So good!

Hello...

I just made these buns today...it was a new thing to put the filling on the bottom as well as inside...but, I tried it, and it was good.
I did not get the amount of buns from my roll as the author did...I got ten small ones in a square metal pan.
I decided not to use the icing...I thot it would be too sweet and for me, it would have been.

I used wholewheat flour and brown sugar for everything.
I cannot understand putting an egg in the recipe...have not heard of this be4, and I am glad the author did not do that.

When I took the pan to the butcher board, I put a plate on top and then flipped the thing over, so that the sugar mix on the bottom of the pan was seen on the buns.
It covered the whole bun with brown sugar mix, so you could not see the coil; but, I liked it that way better, it looked prettier.

The magic was in the tasting...they looked liked cinnamon buns I have made in the past...very simple w/o yeast, but, after the second biteinto it, I was hooked!

The flavor is perfect, the salt with the sweet...all you need is a big slather of hard butter and it's feasting time.
I could not just have one...
These are really good...not fancy...but, they taste great...a different version of the cinnamon bun, which the store sells you, that you pull apart...I guess it has it's place, but, these are fine for me.

I have printed out the recipe and thankyou to the author of them.

It was plenty sweet enough w/o icing, and I had run out of icing sugar, anyways.

Next time I make these, I will try Indian White Flour bread, which is part wholewheat and I cut them wider so they are bigger buns to munch on.

Last of all, I found the dough very pliable, soft and fairly co-operative.

Kudos to the Author.

Fabulous recipe! moist and delicious. I cooked mine a few fewer minutes which made them gooey and wonderful. For those who found their's tasted like baking soda, they should note that the recipe calls for baking POWDER! I hate when I make that mistake :)

This recipe is quick, easy, and very tasty. My 3.5 year old was able to help me along the way which made it a great family activity. Thanks hannah234 for posting.

These rolls were fabulous! I'm a "starving art student" and living on a low budget; this recipe was quick and simple, easy to follow, and I made it with ingredients I already had at home. I followed the recipe exactly, using brown sugar for the filling. The glaze was pretty thin, but it was fine; I wouldn't/didn't add any more powdered sugar as the rolls are pretty sweet already. My roommates loved them! I am saving this recipe, and will definitely make them again.

I liked it. I did at a little bit of vanilla extract to both the dough and the icing (about 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoon respectively). Perfect!

I think everyone's missing the point with regards to the topping - it's a GLAZE, not an icing. Glazes are meant to be very thin and should actually dry clear. That's what this is - not thick visible icing but a clear shiny glaze.
In my opinion, a glaze is ideal for this recipe for two reasons:
1) it's already really sweet - adding proper icing would make it really sickly and be overkill
2) with a glaze you can still see the pretty coiled effect.

YUM!

As others have stated this is not the same as rolls made with yeast. But..the flavors are spot-on and do hit the spot. I may have overworked the dough as it came out rather dense and biscuit like in texture, and not bread-y as rolls (with yeast) should be. As for the glaze, I used about 1 c of powdered sugar mixed with 1 tbsp of melted butter, 1/2 tsp of vanilla, and probably 2-3 tbsp of milk to get the appropriate glaze texture. All-in-all, a decent substitute for the real thing when you have neither the time nor patience.

I just made these cinnamon rolls and they are sooo good! I followed the recipe exactly for the roll part and made my own icing (added butter). I definitely would NOT add an egg to the recipe. Someone mentioned they were too sticky. My advice would be to put flour down below the dough and to also put flour on your rolling pin. I didn't have any issues. Next time I might put butter on the dough before the cinnamon/brown sugar mixture. I forgot that is how my mother makes her rolls. These rolls were quick, easy and super tasty!!

I tried this recipe for a special Christmas breakfast and it was great! I followed the recipe exactly except for the icing. I used my own buttercream frosting because I wanted it to be a little thicker. The family loved them!

This recipe was perfect for us in a pinch!!! Thanks for posting Hannah34! We forgot to buy Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for my husbands Christmas-Day-tradition:( and after going to three small stores on Christmas Eve and not finding any we gave up. :( But, on Christmas day we were still had a hankering so we went online to look up a scratch recipe which did not require yeast. This sufficed perfectly! They were irresistible and my husband did not have to go without his favorite treat on Christmas! (RE: recipe revisions- do not add eggs as someone stated, dough is perfect without. Use wax paper on countertop and have some extra flour on hand for your rolling pin/hands and paper to cut down on stickiness, the liquid to powerdered sugar is grossly overestimated...to get the thick consistency on icing put entire amount of powdered sugar into bowl THEN a dab a tiny bit at a time the milk- you will find that you will not use all of the milk or you will use lots more sugar to make lots more icing-which is not a bad thing;) ENJOY!!!! (Oh, and YUUUMMMMM!) P.S. Taking them out early might be necc depending on what type of pan...I found the cooking time to be just about perfect - though wait for them to cool down just a bit before removing from pan...they will stay together better.

Made rolls just like it's written. Wonderful! I didn't make icing. Instead opted for a bit of whipped cream. Easy! Thanks so much for sharing. Will definitely use again. =)

They were delicious! Don't use an egg though it makes the dough not set right for rolling. I did a batch with half whole what flour and they still tasted delicious. For the frosting I just used a melted butter and powdered sugar because it tastes more like the glaze on cinnamon rolls I've made. They were quick easy and a great hit the kids I was babysitting couldn't get enough of them! I would only bake fore 15 -18 minutes though it makes them softer to eat! Enjoy this great fast recipe!

Not bad, but the best thing about them is how fast they are to make. The yeast dough recipes are better, but of course you'll have to wait about three hours for gratification, so these'll do in a pinch.

these were very good. my whole family devoured these, and I doubled the batch. I made the glaze, but didnt use it. it was just too sweet, and these were tasty and not too dry by themselves. I will probably make these again, and probably again after that.
