Frequently Asked Questions
If you ask me, the secret to making canned cinnamon rolls taste like homemade is in the heavy whipping cream. It adds some extra moisture and richness to the rolls.
The difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is in the shape. Cinnamon rolls are typically rolled into a log shape and then sliced into rolls. Cinnamon buns are formed by rolling the dough into a flat rectangle and then rolling it up into a log.
Yes! These cinnamon rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight. Simply follow all of the recipe instructions up until it's time to bake them. Cover the pan with foil and place it in the fridge overnight. The next morning, remove the rolls from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking as directed.
Variations
- Add some extras: Try adding some raisins, nuts, or even chocolate chips to your cinnamon rolls for an extra special treat!
- If you want an extra soft and fluffy cinnamon roll, try using buttermilk in place of the heavy cream.
- If you love pumpkin, you could add some canned pumpkin to this recipe.
Serving Suggestions
- Nothing better than air fryer Bacon to go alongside these delicious cinnamon rolls.
