Breakfast20 min320 cal / serving

Nothing says lazy morning like a batch of warm, gooey cinnamon rolls topped with a sugary vanilla glaze. If you agree (and how could you not), you’re in luck. These breakfast treats can be whipped up before you finish your second cup!

Once baked, they turn gloriously fluffy while the scent of deep cinnamon swirl wafts through your kitchen. Sure, you could pour yourself a bowl of cold cereal… but these rolls are so easy to prepare, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for anything less.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using a nonstick baking sheet).
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Place the cinnamon rolls on the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly.
  4. Cut the tip off the corner of the icing pouch. Squeeze the icing over the warm rolls.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

For extra gooey rolls, drizzle the icing while the rolls are still warm so it melts into the swirls.

If you prefer a thicker icing, let the rolls cool completely before adding the glaze.

FAQ

Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the rolls on the baking sheet, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake them fresh in the morning, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time if needed.

How should I store leftover cinnamon rolls?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven to restore softness.

Can I add nuts or raisins to the rolls?

Absolutely! Sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins over the rolls before baking for extra texture and flavor.
