Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! Cover it with cling wrap and chill until you are ready to bake them. Do not pour the melted butter, but pour it when you are about to bake them.
No, you need to use unsalted butter. The salted butter would affect the taste and would make your cinnamon roll bites salty, even with the sweet glaze on top.
Yes, store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap on a plate before freezing for 8 hours or up to 6 weeks.

I’m new to keto.
This will blow your body out of ketosis. You might want to look into something else.
Hi Chelsie, sorry for the late reply. This recipe is not keto friendly because I use regular sugar but I do have other recipes: https://simplybakings.com/?s=keto. I hope this helps. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please share some photos in my IG or FB if ever you try my recipes. Enjoy baking! 🙂
Why is milk listed on the recipe if it’s not used to make anything? 🙂
I was wondering the same thing 🤷🏼♀️
HI Ashley,
It’s used to make the glaze and sorry for the late reply! 🙂
Hi, it’s been fixed. It’s used to make the glaze. 🙂
Great recipe ! It’s definitely for special occasions because it’s so decadent, but WOW, is it good! I made a double recipe & baked it in a 9×13 pyrex -It took no time to put together & was a big hit .. Thanks !
You’re welcome! Thanks for trying out this recipe, Muriel. I really appreciate it. It’s good to know that you like it. Are you a fan of cinnamon recipes?
Can this be assembled the night before?
Hi Hannah,
Yes, you can assemble them ahead. Just cover them with cling wrap and chill. Then pour the melted butter only when you are about to bake. Happy baking!
Very good and so easy. I was a bit leery at first to put back in the oven AFTER pouring on the glaze, but this was just fine. Gave the glaze a shiny and firm texture. I will definitely make these again. Thank you.
Hello there! It’s good to know that you gave this recipe a try. Thank you so much. I appreciate it! Do you love cinnamon? I hope you can try my other cinnamon recipes, too. Enjoy!
This is an amazing recipe! I’ve made them several times now, I’m actually waiting for some to come out of the oven right now! The only changes I make are that I dip them in melted butter before rolling them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and then pour a little more over the top before baking (we’re huge butter fans in this house) and I put a little cream cheese in the icing. Thanks so much for the great recipe, it’s made Sunday mornings at our house even more special!
Wow. It’s good to know that you did some tweaks. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad that you like this try. I hope you can try more of my recipes. Enjoy!
