Cinnamon Rolls on Sunday

Cinnamon Rolls No Butter RecipeI try to be good, I really do. But I made my amazing cinnamon rolls for brunch today. Well, it wasn’t really brunch – it was just breakfast but when I put cinnamon rolls on the table, it became brunch. Isn’t that why we all love going to brunch? “Let’s get the eggs and omelettes over with so we can get to the sweets!”

So that was me this morning, having my obligatory scrambled eggs and whole grain toast to clear my conscience in preparation for cinnamon rolls. Boy are they good! I see why so many people love this recipe. It’s easy and you can actually make this recipe with no butter at all, which is what I did. I used Canola Harvest instead of butter for the filling and didn’t miss the butter at all. Click here for the recipe.

These sweet rolls are soft and gooey and they smell amazing. I used Saigon cinnamon, which is more potent than the popular Ceylon cinnamon and I highly recommend it. Anyway, there’s only half a pan left now and that won’t be around long since I’m having it for dessert tomorrow.

Today I also made my ribs and potato salad for dinner so we’re having leftovers tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be a good day with ribs, potato salad, and cinnamon rolls for dessert! And that’s what I cooked today. …just sharing… – Jenny Jones

    I’ve made this cinnamon roll recipe 5 times and they’ve turned out perfect every time. Side note: I don’t toss away the ends. I spread the butter and brown sugar all the way to the edge. I don’t want to waste even that little bit. An absolute winner. Thank you, Jenny!

    Hi jenny

    May i ask a question re your lemon brownies? Do you recommend testing them if baked sufficiently? Some of your readers may use glass vs metal and 20 minutes may not bake them properly.

    Jenny, you’ve done it again with another winner! I’ve been making cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls for years and these are the best. They’re so soft they’re almost cake like, not to mention a healthier recipe. Only change I made was to pour orange glaze over top using 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 T orange juice, 1-2 T milk, 1 T grated orange zest, 1 T melted unsalted butter and a pinch of salt. Thank you for your recipes! Keep up the good work

    Jenny I made the garonola bars today but only had a 8by 8 pan and they did not turn out how long would I cook them &I what temp for that size of pan. I don’t drive so it is a bit difficult to get the sight size of pan. Would really like to hear from u. I love ur site on utube &I tomorrow am going to make ur cinnamon rolls. Then ur wheat bread in 90 mins thank u so very very much!!!

      I’m not sure this recipe will work in an 8 x 8 pan. The mixture will be thicker in the pan but if you cook it too long, it might get too dry. I have only made this in a 9 by 9 and even then, you have to press the mixture down really well to keep the bars from crumbling. I really can’t advise on something I have never done so if you had trouble with the 8 by 8 I suggest waiting until you get a 9 by 9 (maybe online?) because these granola bars are really, really good and worth making the right way. I am making them again tonight.

    Okay, Jenny I can totally understand cinnamon rolls for breakfast. A few second in the microwave………. with extra cream cheese icing an heavenly way to start to the day!
