Skip the Bakery! Four Homemade Cinnamon Rolls We Love

Hey Reader,

I LOVE a good cinnamon roll, but bakery prices are getting out of hand. It's harder and harder to justify buying them.

The good news is that it's not that hard to make warm, soft cinnamon rolls. Even better, they have fun flavors and even a version that doesn't use any yeast.

Before we get to the recipes, I want a quick moment of honesty. I create, develop, and extensively test every recipe I publish on my site. Now, Google tends to pull a lot of slop and websites that use AI to "make" recipes that don't work. To help counteract this, you tell Google that I am a trusted site, which helps everyone see more "real" food. It's literally as easy as clicking here and marking the tickbox. You can do the same thing for my sister travel site, too. These are the little things that cost you nothing that really help individuals like me.

And now for the recipes - the reason you're really here!

My Favorite Cinnamon Roll Variations

When you want cinnamon rolls but don't want to use yeast, this is the answer. These No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls come together fast with simple pantry ingredients and still bake up soft, warm, and sweet.

​Cherry Cinnamon Rolls get a fruity upgrade with sweet cherries tucked into every swirl. The filling melts into the dough as it bakes, giving each bite a mix of warm spice and bright fruit flavor.

​Berry Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting are a perfect summer treat, especially when you find that fresh fruit on sale at the store. This is so pretty, and my kids always end up taking seconds when I make this.

Cinnamon rolls don't always have to be sweet, and these Savory Pork Cinnamon Rolls prove it. I had a version of these near Atlanta at a restaurant and loved them so much that I came home and had to make my own, and they're so good.

Cinnamon rolls work when you keep them classic, load them with fruit, or even go savory. No matter which one you try first, each recipe will be a fan favorite at your house, too.
