Walnut Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Rating 5

Who wouldn't love these ooey-gooey rolls from Jill Defries of Windom, Minnesota? They're fast to assemble using frozen bread dough, and they get their great flavor from cinnamon, brown sugar and chopped walnuts.

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We 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

This is an easy recipe to make. I used Rhodes bread dough and used chopped pecans instead of the walnuts. I made this at our family get together and it went over very well. Succulent and moist~~ not dry. Making another 2 batches today!

These are easy and good. I did think they needed to be rolled out a bit wider than 6" to be able to coil them up very easily. My husband says they were the best I've made and were better than the canned kind (his highest praise).
