These easy biscuit cinnamon rolls are AMAZING.
If you’re looking for an easy cinnamon rolls recipe that requires no yeast, no rising and absolutely zero fuss, then DING DING DING—you’ve found a winner!
There is nothing like the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls wafting through your kitchen. I mean, I have a candle sitting on my office desk called cinnamon roll, which may give you a little insight into how much I truly adore this dessert recipe.
The thing is, who wants to spend all that time making cinnamon rolls from scratch?
In the memorable words of Sweet Brown, “ain’t nobody got time for that!”
I’ve seen recipes similar to this one floating around on Pinterest for several years now. In case you haven’t tried making these biscuit cinnamon rolls yet, let me tell you, they are SO good.
My family loves when I whip up a batch of cinnamon rolls for breakfast. It’s usually something I save for Saturday mornings when we’re not in a rush to get to school or work.
Finish your easy cinnamon rolls with an equally simple homemade glaze using just powdered sugar and a little milk.
You could add a little more cinnamon to the glaze if you’re feeling crazy. Topping with chopped walnuts or pecans would also taste great.

If you can make them up the night before and refrigerate them do you need to let them come up to room temperature to bake them?

Thank you for this recipe. They were delicious. I think they taste better than the store bought ones. I definitely will make these from now on instead of buying them. And, I did not know it was that easy to make icing. 😀 Thank you for sharing.

These are very easy and delicious, plus they are even good as leftovers, which canned cinnamon rolls are not! I make these for my teenaged son as a treat. I use the Aldi’s jumbo biscuits ($.79) much cheaper and way better than the already canned cinnamon rolls. Thanks!

I made these tonight with a small (5 biscuits) can and sort of eyeballed the ingredients from there. They were so easy and yummy! I did add a dribble of vanilla and teaspoon of sour cream to the icing and it was amazing. Also topped with the only nuts I had on hand – sliced almonds. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Was a really easy recipe to follow! Turned out great. I used brown sugar instead of regular and added in a little more cinnamon. The recipe didn’t state how thick to make the dough when you rolled it out, so I just guessed and did 1/4 in rectangle. I also rolled it up starting on the long end instead of the short end for smalller rolls. Made 12 smaller rolls. So yummy and good, I didn’t even make frosting for them!
