I’ve been holding out on you. I made these bad boys a month a go. . . I’m sorry! I don’t know why but I’ve been “saving” them. For what I’m not sure. I just kept thinking oh, I need a special occasion to share these. And a month has come and gone and I still have not shared them! So I decided I would create a special occasion. Happy Cinnamon Roll Dipper Wednesday!
Cinnamon rolls are one of my absolute favorite breakfast foods. Probably because they taste way more like dessert than breakfast. Cinnamon, sugar, frosting… ummmm, yeah that’s definitely fitting for the most important meal of the day! I made these on a weekend morning for the husband and myself and I was floored with how they turned out. I mean, I imagined them in the first place so naturally I expected to like them but… these were AMAZING.
It’s genius really. An inside-out cinnamon roll which requires no yeast at all, can be made ahead and ready in 15 minutes the morning of, and you dip them in the glaze so you never have that oh shoot, I should have doubled the frosting recipe feeling in the pit of your stomach that inevitably comes with the first bite of every traditional cinnamon roll.
I may or may not have a cinnamon roll obsession. It started with those harmless little Quick & Easy No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls I made a few months back. Then I got real creative with the Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake (which, by the way is my most popular recipe!). And then a couple of weeks ago I died and went to heaven with these Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. But today, it’s official. We’ve revolutionized the cinnamon roll. Which is saying something since the cinnamon roll is pretty much the best breakfast culinary invention ever. Easy, insanely delicious, and dippable. For all of you fellow double-dip offenders, you know exactly what I mean when I say, it’s ten times better if it’s dippable. These are going to make a reappearance in my kitchen very regularly, I don’t know how we ever lived without them!

Great job, Ann! Thanks for your feedback!
I made this and the dip turned out amazing but the actual dippers were hard and not fluffy and soft does anyone know where I might have gone wrong or what happened?
I added a teaspoon of baking powder. They were softer than the original recipe-though the recipe as written turned out well for me, it was more like Scottish shortbread than a cinnamon roll.
