Reviews
These were really good. I always leave out the nuts because I do not care for them in my baked goods.
Easy, quick and yummy. I cooked in convection oven for 15 minutes.
Have made these twice and they are really good, and also easy to make.I do not have a food processor, so I just whip them with a whisk, then the kneading brings everything together.
These were great! It's more like a coffee cake. I might separate them on a cookie sheet next time (or just serve more like it's one coffee cake); because it's a tender biscuit dough they didn't break apart into individual rolls like yeast cinnamon rolls and fell apart easily, but still delicious.I didn't have cottage cheese so used sour cream instead and therefore didn't mess with using the food processor. I halved the nuts and might even reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup next time because they are plenty sweet with the icing too.
I admit I was a bit skeptical because of the cottage cheese and yogurt but the reviews convinced me to try it, and am I ever glad I did. They were fabulous. They were tender and scrumptious - my whole family loved them.
I have used quite a few cinammon roll recipes mostly all using yeast so wasnt sure about this one but decided to try it and i cant believe how amazing this recipe was the cookies were amazing and from now on i will only use this one so easy no fuss and delicious taste and texture :-)
These were really good, especially when I crumbled bacon in the filling and then on top of the maple glaze!
First of all , to those of you who rate before trying a recipe just ruin it for others. Second , these cinnamon buns were very tasty and easy to make. Third, I will make again. Thank you.
I like Cinnamon Buns very much! Reminds me of my childhood days... ??
Lahupe - thank you!!!! So irritating when reviewers don't try a recipe but decide to be judge and jury for those of us that actually do. And another thing...if their recipes are sooo much better submit it and let us decide. Excellent recipe the grandchildren loved not only helping make them but eating them as well.
