Directions

| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 375 In a large mixing bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder, sour cream, buttermilk, and oil. Mix until a dough forms. Toss some flour on your counter and roll out the dough into a large rectangle at least 1/8" thick. | |

| Evenly butter the entire surface of the dough with very soft (or melted) butter. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar as evenly as possible. Roll up the dough and slice into 12 equal rolls. Place them in a buttered pan with enough space in between for the rolls to expand. | |

Can these be frozen? And then pulled out either the night before or cooked from being frozen?
Allison says
Awesome recipe!
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
What a great recipe. I never think to make cinnamon rolls until the morning I want to make them and my family would rather not have to wait for the yeast to work it’s magic. This recipe is perfect for me.
Daisy Schwenke says
These were amazing!! I will definitely
make these again!! One thing I did to
the frosting was instaid of buttermilk, I
Put in heavy whipping cream, and also
added some cinnamon!!
Romaine says
These were super, even with the small changes – coconut oil instead of canola; Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I did not have any plain cream cheese on hand, but had chocolate – the kids still loved! It is a keeper for sure! Thanks so much for sharing it!
bikki says
hay!!! gorgeus recepie looking for to try it … i have one question… what can i use instead buttermilk? i can’t find it our stores 🙁
Charlys Hay says
I mixed some lemon juice into my almond milk and it worked fine in this recipe. You can mix lemon juice or vinegar into regular milk as a substitute when a recipe calls for buttermilk, sour cream, or yogurt.
Laurie says
I made these for my 92 yr old Mom this morning. It’s just us so I cut the log in half to save for tomorrow morning. I added some lightly toasted pecans and m u sed them with the butter, sugar and Vietnamese cinnamon I have. I needed to cool down the mix so I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. I learned that k lesson years ago when my filling ran out i f the rolls. Didn’t have powdered sugar so I put sugar in my Ninja and gave it a whirl. Can’t wait to try them. So far it’s a perfect recipe. Thanks for sharing

Sára Marie says
these were unbelievable! I live outside the US so most of my friends have no idea what a cinnamon roll should actually taste like… but it was loved by all, especially me, who got them made quickly and in a pinch! great recipe, I will definitely be checking out your blog in the future 🙂
Sara Ghansar says
I made these tonight for my sis. She loved it and couldnt tell the difference from my yeast-rolls. Thanks so much for this quick recipe I wont be wasting 3 hours with yeast any more
Fatima Ayed says
Omg I made this yesterday and everyone absolutely LOOVEEEDDD it! I was sceptical about using this recipe since I've had some bad experiences with using recipes from the internet but oh my, this was fantastic! Thank you so much for such a delicious and amazing recipe!
Stephanie says
You just made my day! I am thrilled to hear you loved them, thanks so much for letting me know!
Susana Mojica says
This recipe is very easy.I going to try it. wish me luck. wow cinamon rolls.
Rena says
Hi! This looks amazing! How long do they last? If i want to serve them on Wednesday morning, can i make them today (Sunday)? And i’m assuming i frost them and store in the fridge? Do i warm them up before serving? Thanks!! Can’t wait to try these.
Rozee says
Is it ok to assemble these the night before and bake them in the morning? I’m going to give that a try. It’d probably take a little longer to cook, but that’d make then easier yet! I’ll try it unless I hear back that you wouldn’t recommend it. I’d add the glaze after baking, of course…
Stephanie says
HI Rozee, I’m sure that would work just fine! Let me know how they turn out. Enjoy!
Carol Ninnemann says
I will have to try these since I am not good with yeast baked goods!
Ciara Mae says
Hello there.:) I want to try you recipe, but I don't have sour cream. What can I use instead of sour cream?:) Thank you.
Stephanie says
Hi Ciara! Try using yogurt instead. Greek or regular would both work great. Enjoy!
Kelley Blackwell Wilson says
I can't wait to try these, yeast seems to be my arch enemy! Thanks
Mindy says
Um, I love you for this. I’m all over these this weekend!
shawnda says
IS there any trick you used to make your dough not so flaky and fragile? Mine is falling apart almost like biscuit dough. 🙁
Stephanie says
Oh no! You may need to add a bit more milk to the dough. Sounds like it was too dry and that’s why it was a little crumbly.
Julia Canup Kendrick says
I like the idea of no yeast. I can't wait to try these! Pinned. Julia @ http://www.juliakendrick.com.

Ooh I love this, me and yeast have a love/hate relationship. I love the way it tastes, but I hate cooking with it!! Can’t wait to try these!
Leslie says

Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
This recipe is great for those mornings when I am feeling super lazy but my stomach is rumbling. Confession: I only eat the middle of the cinnamon roll, its the best part!

Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
Okay, is it super silly and crazy that yeast gives me the heebie jeebies?! I just don’t like how a tiny packet of sand-like stuff can make or break an entire loaf of bread. It’s so maniacal! Hahaha. So therefore, I heart that these are no-yeast cinnamon rolls. No risk of having them blow up in your face, but plenty of gooey, cinnamony rewards at the end 🙂
anyonita says
oh, you clever clogs! these look absolutely divine! i can’t wait to try them. i followed you from the monday link party at stone gable. i also wanted to invite you to attend my link parties on tuesdays. it’s just starting out, so we’re a small but consistent bunch. i’d love to have you help us grow 🙂 here’s the link: http://anyonitanibbles.blogspot.co.uk/p/link-parties.html
& oh yes, i’ve pinned this! 🙂
Melissa Mcclung says
Could I use normal milk instead of buttermilk
Amy Austin says
yes but with not as good results…to sour the milk (kind of make it buttermilk ish…) add 1 tsp of either lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk, let it sit for 20 mintues.
Nicole MsUntamebully Jenkins says
Buttermilk can be made with a cup of milk an 1 tsp of vinegar n let sit for 5 mins
Liz says
Our house loves cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Saturday mornings but I don’t always have the time to make them. This recipe sounds perfect to whip up a quick batch! 🙂
Tanya Schroeder says
No yeast cinnamon rolls are awesome!!! Love being able to have cinnamon rolls quickly and easily!
Tara Marchant Crim says
If you use self rising flour can you leave out the soda and baking powder or is it best to use plain flour?????? Thanks for your help with this…. I love cinnamon rolls and am really looking forward to making home made ones….
Tara
Stephanie says
Honestly, I can’t say for sure since I have not tried making them that way. I would think it would work using self rising flour and leaving out the soda and baking powder. BUT no promises… I have only tested the recipe as written 🙂 If you try it with the self rising flour please let me know!
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
Oooh, I love cinnamon rolls, and I love that you can make these without yeast! Gorgeous (and yes, the middle one is pure heaven!)!!
Mimi @ Culinary Couture says
Cinnamon rolls are my favorite too! Can’t wait to try these!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Totally fab recipe Stephanie! And yes. The center one is the best thing ever!
