Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Cinnamon rolls are simply delicious little bread rolls filled with the most delicious gooey filling - delightfully decadent slather of butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. Then rolled up and baked making the rolls look all swirly. Are you hungry yet?

This Dreamy, pillowy no yeast bread dough filled with the aforementioned delicious gooey filling of butter, sugar and brown sugar is the heavenly.

Cinnamon rolls aren't complete without the creamy cheese icing drizzled over these warm rolls. Hello!! Cinnamon Roll Icing!

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.

No yeast Cinnamon Rolls

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.

If in these cinnamon rolls have no yeast and no eggs, then what is the rising agent? I know you guessed right. It's the baking powder in the self rising flour.

Yep no yeast recipe is made with self rising flour, which you can easily make at home.
