How to make No yeast Cinnamon Rolls
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375F
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix.Using a pastry cutter (or fork and knife if lacking) cut 5 Tablespoons of butter into dry mix.Add milk and mix until all ingredients are combined.Dump dough onto a very well floured surface and roll until it forms a cohesive ball. Continue to flour the surface you are working with as needed.Use a rolling pin to roll dough out to roughly a 10 by 12 rectangle.Make your filling by combining brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and then stirring in butter and vanilla. This will be very much like a paste.Spread the filling over the rectangle of dough, leaving about ¼ inch of space as a perimeter around the filling.Carefully roll dough starting with one of the 12 inch ends and rolling tightly. Press the edge of the roll into the dough so that it sticks.Place the reserved 2 Tbsp of butter into a 9" pie pan and set it in your preheating oven for a few minutes until the butter has melted.Remove from oven.
Cut the log, spacing your cuts about 1 inch apart. If the log is not holding its shape well, transfer it to your freezer for about 10 minutes and then try to cut again (it should hold it's shape this way so you will have mostly round cinnamon rolls).
Place your cinnamon rolls in baking dish, they do not need to be touching, they will spread to fill their surrounding area.
Bake on 375F for 28-30 minutes (beginning to lightly brown around edges). Prepare your icing while the rolls are baking.
With mixer, combine cream cheese and butter and vanilla.Gradually add sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add milk, stirring until combined.
When cinnamon rolls are finished, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before spreading icing over rolls.
These cinnamon rolls are nice and soft. Keep in mind that the warmer they are, the harder it will be to separate one from the other. But if you go in for one cinnamon roll and end up with one and a half, it's really not the worst thing that could happen, right?

FAQS
How do I make no yeast cinnamon rolls without compromising on taste?
To make delicious no yeast cinnamon rolls, focus on using baking powder as your leavening agent. This recipe combines all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder to create a soft dough that rises beautifully in the oven. The key is to mix the dry ingredients well and incorporate cold butter to achieve a tender texture.
What are some dietary substitutions I can make for this no yeast cinnamon rolls recipe?
If you're looking for dietary substitutions, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option. For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk or oat milk, and use coconut oil in place of butter. Additionally, you can replace cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative for the icing.
How should I store leftover no yeast cinnamon rolls to keep them fresh?
To store leftover no yeast cinnamon rolls, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them; wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
What can I pair with no yeast cinnamon rolls for a complete breakfast?
No yeast cinnamon rolls pair wonderfully with a variety of breakfast items. Consider serving them alongside a warm cup of coffee or tea, and add some fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for a refreshing touch. You could also serve them with a side of scrambled eggs or yogurt for a balanced meal.
What should I do if my cinnamon roll dough is too sticky to roll out?
If your cinnamon roll dough is too sticky, don't worry! Simply sprinkle a little more flour on your work surface and on top of the dough as you roll it out. Make sure to keep your rolling pin floured as well. If the dough is still difficult to manage, you can refrigerate it for about 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
