The Tastiest Treat: Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

My DH and I have an addiction. I am embarrassed to talk about it. It started out that we would share one when we were at the mall. Then we started having one for ourselves. This upped to two each w/extra frosting. And then, well, then we started going to the mall just to satisfy our craving. We couldnā€™t last 2-3 days without a hit of its gooey center. It became our friend, there when we needed it. But then things changed when we left the country. None of the product is available south of the border. Our withdrawals were getting worse. It was either kick the habit for good or take things into our own hands.

So we started making the product at home. It was a scary endeavor, so many things could go wrong. Everything had to be perfect or it would be a complete bust. But alas! The time and energy spent was well worth it. Our CinnabonĀ Cinnamon RollsĀ were Delicious and satisfying. No other product can compare.

Delicious Rating:Ā Yummy Yummy Time! If you are anything like my DH and I, you will finish the whole pan if not the same day than the next. These are better than Cinnabon and theĀ easy recipe for extra frosting is freeā€¦and you can eat it right out of the bowlā€¦These are also highly dangerous Cinnamon Rolls. You may become addicted. Youā€™ve had your warning. You may also try this Chocolate Orange Sweet Rolls recipe

Tips

Better Than Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
Better Than Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
  • Rolling out the dough is key to making sure your Cinnamon Rolls come out perfectly.
  • Too thick a dough will make for tough rolls that won’t rise and are difficult to slice, while too thin a dough will result in soggy cinnamon rolls.
  • Be generous with the cinnamon sugar and don’t skimp on the baking time ā€“ these babies need to be golden brown and crispy on the outside!
  • Serve them warm with ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!
