Editor’s note: These do not taste like Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. They more biscuit like in taste, but they are delicious!
Easy No Rise Cinnamon Rolls… So good you’ll think your grandmother made them.
Dough
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 stick butter (softened)
- 3/4 to 1 cup milk
To make the dough mix together the dry ingredients. Then cut in the butter. Add milk until the dough is a bit sticky. Put on a floured surface and roll out.
Filling
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
Spread filling on the on the rolled out dough. Butter first, then sugar, then cinnamon. Use as much or as little as you want.
Roll up and slice into rolls. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes, less if you are using white flour. You can bake them on a cookie sheet, 9×13 casserole pan, or round cake pan. If you are using 100% wheat flour it is better to use a pan with sides as the rolls have a tendency to spread out a little more.
Icing
- 3 Tablespoons butter (softened)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teas vanilla
- Milk
note: This makes a lot of icing. You can freeze the extra and use later.
Mix together butter and cream cheese. Then add powdered sugar and vanilla. Add milk until you get a consistency that can be drizzled on the cinnamon rolls. When the rolls are finished drizzle with frosting.
These rolls are delicious and take about 40 minutes from start to finish including baking time. The recipe makes about 10 rolls.

I love that this is made with whole wheat flour. I also love that it is no rise! Such a win/win situation!

I made these last night and again this morning! Everyone loved them! Definitely easy to do!
I used white flour and they were done baking in 15 minutes! LOVE THIS RECIPE!

Really? NO rise? Seems too good to be true. I think I’m up for the challenge…maybe even tomorrow!
(because I’m drooling…)

I saw this recipe I think during the summer on one of your blogs. I was always afraid to make it thinking it was going to be too complicated.
NOT ANY MORE!! I just made them and they have been gobbled right up. Everyone said they were great. Much better than the kind you find in the can.
As far as difficultly….NOT!! Super easy. It took me about 50 minutes to make. Not bad especially considering I am very slow when it comes to making new recipes and I am still pretty green when it comes to cooking.
This is going right into my recipe binder.
Thanks : )

I have always wanted to learn how to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. I make the Pillsbury ones every Saturday, and even though they taste good I always prefer homemade things. These look so delicious. I will definitely be making these sometime soon. Thank you so much for the recipe.

I made them today and they were very easy. The topping was great. I used half wheat and half white flour for the bun and it was a little too wheaty for me but not for my husband. I also cooked them too long so they weren’t gooey enough. I would bake them only 15 minutes next time. Lastly, I would try them in a smaller pan so they are all next to each other so they don’t spread out so much. Thanks for the recipe!

I saw this recipe yesterday and couldn’t wait to make them. My guys LOVED them. It didn’t take long to make and they were great. I hate how much the ones in the can cost and I don’t have the patience to do the yeast kind. Thanks so much!
[Reply]
Thank you for these! No rise makes them realistic for my mornings.
[Reply]
The recipe sound like just what I need. Couple weeks ago got up while roommates were sleeping and made rolls from scratch using yeast they tasted ok just took TOO LONG.
[Reply]
These are soooo goood and soooo easy..
[Reply]
Making these right now – they were SO easy. Pilsbury will be losing my Saturday morning business.
[Reply]
I can’t wait to try these, thanks for posting!

Have you tried freezing these? I’m making a month of meals menu and would like to include these if they freeze well.
Thank you so much! I love no-rise baked goods.

yes, they do freeze well.

I did not have much luck with this recipe. It was very sticky and did not roll very well. I used whole wheat flour. My family ate it but did not seem to care for the texture. Do you use whole wheat pastry flour and not whole wheat flour?

This recipe has more like a biscuit taste, perhaps you needed to add more flour. I used soft white flour, which I ground from the wheat berries. It does make a difference when you use fresh ground flour.
