Ingredients

• 2 cups Bisquick mix (or other baking mix)
• 2/3 cup milk (you can swap for almond or oat milk)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional for frosting)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for frosting)

Instructions

Step 1:

In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, and sugar. Stir until a soft dough forms. Trust me, it will come together quickly and easily.

Step 2:

Lightly flour your countertop and knead the dough for about 1 minute until it’s smooth. Roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3:

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon and remaining sugar on top. Don’t be shy, make sure every bite is flavored.

Step 4:

Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it, and cut the log into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5:

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6:

While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency as desired.

Step 7:

Once the cinnamon rolls are done, drizzle with the frosting as soon as they come out of the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving, if you can resist.

Healthier Alternatives
