Main Ingredients You’ll Need for No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 Ingredient Magic Dough – The star of this recipe, this easy-to-make dough forms the perfect base for the rolls, providing a soft and fluffy texture without the need for yeast.
- Granulated Sweetener of Choice – Adds just the right amount of sweetness. Opt for a sugar-free option if you’re watching your sugar intake.
- Coconut Oil (melted) – Helps to create a tender dough while adding a subtle hint of coconut flavor.
- Cinnamon – The key spice that gives these rolls their classic warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor.
For the Glaze
- Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar – Keeps the glaze light and guilt-free, but you can substitute with regular powdered sugar if preferred.
- Greek Yogurt – Adds a creamy texture and tanginess to the glaze, making it the perfect complement to the sweet rolls.
- Vanilla Extract – Enhances the flavor of the glaze, adding a hint of warmth and richness.
Quick Steps to Heavenly No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 180C/350F and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of your chosen sweetener, and yogurt. Mix until the dough forms into a ball.
- Lightly flour your kitchen surface and place the dough on it. Roll the dough into a thin rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Brush the top of the dough with melted coconut oil. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining sweetener and cinnamon.
- Gently roll the dough from one end to the other to form a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared tray, ensuring they are close together but not overlapping. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
- Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
- Dough Consistency: If your dough seems too sticky, add a little extra flour until it’s manageable. Conversely, if it’s too dry, add a bit more yogurt.
- Rolling the Dough: Roll the dough evenly to ensure all the rolls cook at the same rate.
- Glazing: Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more or less yogurt, depending on your preference.
Variations to Try
- Vegan Option: Use a dairy-free yogurt and ensure the sweetener and powdered sugar are vegan-friendly.
- Gluten-Free Rolls: Substitute with gluten-free flour for a delicious gluten-free treat.
- Alternative Glaze: Try a sugar-free cream cheese frosting for a tangier twist.
Storing Your Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Simply thaw and warm them up when ready to enjoy again!
With these no yeast cinnamon rolls, you’ll have a delectable, quick-to-make treat that everyone will love, without the fuss of waiting for dough to rise.
