What is the difference between No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls and Regular Yeast Cinnamon Rolls?
These No yeast cinnamon rolls are a little different from the other gooey cinnamon goodness I have on the blog but also super delicious.
The major difference is that these are yeast free and egg free and gets ready in about 30 mins from start to finish. No dough rising wait I promise.
Because there isn't yeast in these cinnamon rolls, they are not as fluffy and bread-like as these yeast cinnamon rolls but they are still soft, succulent and delicious.
Cinnamon rolls with no yeast are best enjoyed same day but trust me on this one, they never last that long, not in my house for sure.

Hello. I am in the middle of making these and am wondering how much cinnamon to use for the filling. It's listed in the instructions, but I don't see it listed in the ingredients to know how much to use. Thank you.
