Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

These are super easy and very delicious. My daughter and I made them. We had a great time and everyone really liked them. The bread raises beautifully. They had a crisp crust on the outside and soft, melt-int-your mouth inside.

I am sorry to report that this recipe was a flop for me! I thought they looked so yummy and all the reviews were so positive. I halved the recipe and they did not rise well at all and they are hard - not soft & gooey like cr should be. We ate 3-4 and threw the rest out :(. It's an easy recipe to follow but I won't try it again.

These Cinnamon Rolls are really great!!! I did substitute applesauce for the oil and used Splenda for 1/2 of the sugar called for in the dough and in the filling. One question, why are you "not" to knead the dough? I've been baking for 46 years and the cinnamon roll recipes, always have you knead the dough. Does someone know the answer.Anyway, these are great and I will make them again, this weekend, I hope.

This recipe is DELICIOUS! Usually the first time I bake something it's a fail, but this one turned out on the first try. :) Although, I have to say swapped the filing for one that was just basically creamy cinnamon and sugar, just because we don't really like nuts. :) My husband requests this all the time!

I didn't have vanilla pudding mix so I subbed in butterscotch instead and added a bit of maple syrup to the glaze. YUM! I liked not having to knead the dough and the rolls still rose and baked up beautifully.

Have made these many times - love 'em. The recipe cuts in half easily if there's just 2 people in the household.

I love how they are so easy to make. They are the best when just out of the oven. Because it makes 2 pans you can keep one and give one away (if your family will let you)I like them for Easter the bread rising reminds me how Jesus rose from the dead just to save us from our sins.
