Simple cinnamon rolls-made in 1 hour!
My whole family is fascinated by cinnamon rolls (trust me-we have a recipe for cinnamon roll cakes on the website, cinnamon roll waffles-the list goes on!)
This may be because my mother has been doing them since I can remember. Recently, she decided to try a faster version. She did some research and thinks that your family mom’s recipe looks the best. I assure her that any work by Leigh Anne will be extraordinary.
My mother tried this recipe while we were on vacation and the whole family loved it. These rolls are soft and sweet, and taste as good as the regular version she has made over the years, but-they were done in an hour!
We did change a few things and added more butter and sugar (more butter and sugar canât go wrong, right?!) We also added some cream cheese to the frosting and bake it at a lower temperature Bake for more time.
The results are amazing, you better believe that we will make these again!

Quick Cinnamon Roll FAQ
For some reason, many people tend to think that cinnamon rolls are intimidating. I thought so myself before, but now I realize how easy they are to make-especially with this recipe. Here are some notes, tips, and FAQs to help you make these.
How do you make slimy cinnamon rolls? We added more fillings to this recipe to make it stickier (if you want it to be less sticky, change the brown sugar and sugar to œ cup respectively).
We also include a lot of frosting, which helps to make them super viscous! If you prefer less frosting, you can change the amount to: â cup butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 ounces. Cream cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla and milk. đ
Which flour is best for this recipe? All-purpose flour is suitable for this recipe, but bread flour works best. It makes the rolls super soft, which adds the stickiness and flavor that we really like in this recipe.
Storage + freezing? Place the cinnamon rolls on a plate and cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Or put it in a sealed container. They should be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days.
You can freeze unfrosted rolls. Just let them thaw overnight and then heat them in the oven for a few minutes before frosting. You can also freeze them. Just chill, cover and wrap in a freezer safety bag to freeze.
Have you ever seen a picture of food and just wish you had one in front of you-in real life? ! This is what I think of these bad boys. As you can see, we don’t like to be stingy on icing. Coating these rolls with irresistible cream cheese frosting makes them even more addictive!
