There is nothing better than a nice relaxing Sunday morning, except a relaxing sunday morning with homemade cinnamon rolls!
You would think that homemade cinnamon rolls would be a ton of work and then there would be no more relaxing Sunday morning, but fear not. These cinnamon rolls are a cinch to make and can be in your belly in no time!
Here’s how I made the cinnamon rolls…
Mix ingredients together to form the dough.
Roll out the dough, slather the dough with softened butter, and generously add the cinnamon and brown sugar.
Roll the dough and cinnamon sugar mixture into a log and seal the edges.
Cut dough log into even pieces and let rise until doubled in size.

Christie’s Take on Life. xx
Christie,
You’re going to love them and just how easy they are to make. Enjoy!
Oo yes, I just LOVE cinnamon rolls. I’ve never made them on my own. Normally they come from a can, but I’m sure these would be SO much better.
Amber,
Once you see how easy they are to make, the can will be a thing of the past.
Oh wow, I love cinnamon rolls and you made them so perfectly. Though I haven’t tried them the yumminess prompted me to ry out during weekends:)
Okay so you say these are pretty easy to make huh? I guess that means that I’m going to have to try them. I’ve bookmarked this and will have to get back to you with the results.
Thanks for this awesome recipe. Will give this to my Mom, for her to try.
I made these the other day and they turned out soon well! I didn’t even have to frost them! Thanks for the great recipe! 🙂
My husband was so surprised when I told him that I made the cinnamon rolls rather than getting them from a pillsbury tin.
Thanks!
These cinnamon rolls look absolutely amazing. And my daughter would love this as it is one of her favorite breakfast foods. I will have to try this out.
I couldnt agree more, indeed there is nothing better than a nice relaxing Sunday morning, except a relaxing sunday morning with homemade cinnamon rolls!
I so love cinnamon rolls and they are so easy to make! I have some friends over next weekend, I’ll definitely make some for breakfast.
I love fresh made cinnamon buns! These look amazing, and your recipe is so easy to follow. I’ll have to try making them from scratch now.
