    No Yeast 1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls

    These no-yeast homemade cinnamon rolls are just like the name says – no yeast is necessary.

    So how do cinnamon rolls rise with no yeast?

    Baking powder allows them to rise slightly during the baking process. 1-hour cinnamon rolls still turn out so delicious and cut the time down on the rising process so that they can be done quickly.

    No waiting is necessary!

    How to Make Cinnamon Roll Recipe No Yeast

    • In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add butter, oil, sugar, eggs, milk, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add in flour until well mixed.
    • Lightly flour a clean, dry surface and knead the dough for about 1 minute. Form it into a ball and place it back in the mixing bowl.

    • Place a damp cloth on top of the bowl and let it set for 15 minutes to lightly rise.
    • I used two layers of paper towels for mine.
    Bowl covered with damp cloth
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 13″ x 9″ pan.
    • On the lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape with a rolling pin until it measures approximately 18″ x 12″ and is about ¼″ thick.
    • Brush dough with ⅓ cup butter. It will seem like a lot of butter, but the brown sugar and cinnamon will provide a delicious filling.
    Butter spread on dough
    • Blend together brown sugar and cinnamon with a fork to break up any lumps. Sprinkle mixture on top of buttered dough.

    • Starting on the long edge, roll dough into a log. Trim the edges of the log.
    Rolled dough
    • Begin cutting the dough into 1 ½″ thick slices to get approximately 12 pieces.
    Rolled dough cut into 1 ½
    • I found it easiest to cut the log in half, then each of those halves in half again. Then cut those into thirds.
    Uncooked cinnamon rolls
    • Arrange cinnamon rolls in prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
    Baked cinnamon rolls
    • While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by mixing together all frosting ingredients in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or in a bowl with a hand mixer.
    • When the rolls are done baking, allow to partially cool before frosting so that frosting does not completely melt on top.

    Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls

    These cinnamon rolls can be made ahead!

    After they have been rolled and placed in the 13″ x 9″ baking dish, cover them with saran wrap and place them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

    When you’re ready to bake them, remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to allow them to come to room temperature. Then bake according to directions.

    How to Reheat Cinnamon Rolls

    Cinnamon rolls are so good when they’re hot and fresh!

    If you want to warm leftovers, reheat them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. They will soften and the icing will begin to melt – so delicious!
