Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls

These Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls come together quickly with minimal ingredients, making them perfect for cozy breakfasts or spontaneous sweet cravings. Using Bisquick keeps the dough tender and simple to work with, while the classic cinnamon-sugar swirl gives each roll that warm, comforting flavor everyone loves.

Tips

• Chill the dough briefly if it becomes sticky—cooler dough rolls more cleanly.
• Glaze while warm so it seeps into the spirals for extra flavor.

FAQ

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes—prepare and refrigerate up to 12 hours; slice and bake in the morning.

Can I add raisins or other fillings?

What if I don’t have Bisquick?
A homemade baking mix (flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening) can be substituted, though texture may vary slightly.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat briefly to soften.

Can I freeze them?
