Tips
- Storage: These cinnamon rolls are best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls the night before, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Bake them in the morning for a quick, fresh breakfast.
- Thickness of Rolls: If you prefer thicker rolls, roll your dough to a smaller width before cutting the slices.
Variations and Substitutions
- Nut-Free: Skip the chopped nuts if you have nut allergies or simply prefer a nut-free version.
- Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free buttermilk (made with plant-based milk and a splash of lemon juice or vinegar) and substitute dairy-free butter for the glaze and filling.
- Spicy Cinnamon Rolls: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of ginger to the filling mixture for extra flavor.
- Frosting Variations: You can swap the vanilla glaze for cream cheese frosting if you prefer a richer topping.
FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk? Yes, you can use regular milk, but buttermilk adds a slight tanginess that complements the sweetness of the rolls.
Can I use a different type of sugar? You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple sugar for a slightly different taste.
Can I freeze these cinnamon rolls? Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls before placing them in the oven. Just freeze them on a baking sheet and transfer to a container. When you’re ready to bake, let them thaw and rise, then bake as usual.
