There’s nothing better than a warm, gooey cinnamon roll covered in a sweet layer of vanilla icing… especially when they require only 60 minutes to make! These 1 hour cinnamon rolls are not only quick and easy, but they taste just as amazing, if not better, than any other cinnamon roll!
About a month or two ago when I made these lemon poppy seed sweet rolls, I learned a quick-rise technique for sweet rolls. It’s one I’ve used before with dinner rolls, but never considered it for cinnamon rolls. Genius, I thought! So I played around with the recipe (since they turned out so well) and came up with these 1 hour cinnamon rolls. If you’re anything like me and LOVE cinnamon rolls but HATE waiting around for them, this recipe is for you! Fluffy, sweet swirls of goodness will be in your mouth in no time…
