Recipe
Cinnamon rolls are perfect for any breakfast and Sunday brunch. However, their recipe ordinarily calls for measuring out a bunch of ingredients, mixing and kneading the dough in a mixer, waiting for the yeast to rise properly — twice! It is no wonder that, more often than not, we opt for running to the nearest bakery to get them.
Today, we’re eager to offer a solution: no-yeast cinnamon rolls you can whip up while your oven is heating up. Furthermore, they feature only seven staple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen already. Let’s make some easy, practically irresistible cinnamon rolls!

To prepare cinnamon rolls quicker and easier, we replaced yeast with self-rising flour — a combination of flour, baking powder, and salt. Baking powder gives the no-yeast cinnamon rolls a fluffiness that could rival that of their yeasted cousin's. Fresh homemade cinnamon rolls are calling your name — grab the necessary ingredients and give these a try!
