Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

These Bisquick cinnamon rolls are quick and delicious, with all the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls but without the time-consuming process. Perfect for a weekend breakfast or a sweet treat anytime!

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk (or more to reach desired consistency)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a round cake pan.
  2. Prepare the dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, milk, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be thick but slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more Bisquick to reach the right consistency.
  3. Roll out the dough:
    On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick. Aim for a 9×12-inch shape, but don’t worry too much about perfection.
  4. Make the filling:
    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Assemble the rolls:
    Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up into a tight log (like a jelly roll). Pinch the seam to seal.
  6. Slice the rolls:
    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 8-10 equal pieces.
  7. Bake:
    Place the cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Make the glaze:
    While the rolls are baking, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adjusting the milk as needed to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
  9. Finish the rolls:
    Once the cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
  10. Serve and enjoy:
    Serve the cinnamon rolls warm with a cup of coffee or your favorite morning beverage.

Tips for Success:

  • Variations: Add chopped pecans or raisins to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the rolls and cover them with plastic wrap, refrigerating them overnight. In the morning, just bake them fresh from the fridge (may need a few extra minutes in the oven).
  • For a creamier glaze: Mix in a tablespoon of softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and milk for a richer glaze.

Why Bisquick Works for Cinnamon Rolls:

Using Bisquick simplifies the process of making cinnamon rolls because it’s already a blend of flour, baking powder, and salt, which are the main ingredients needed for the dough. This eliminates the need to sift dry ingredients or worry about measuring each one separately, making this a very convenient recipe for busy mornings or a last-minute craving!

Conclusion:

These easy Bisquick cinnamon rolls are soft, sweet, and ready in just 30 minutes! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of glaze, and they’re sure to become a family favorite.
