Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls, so easy to make and no waiting for them to rise!
Sundays are our slow day. Sometimes I never even get out of my PJs.
Sundays are also one of the only days my family might get a good breakfast for breakfast, or close to that time.
We have breakfast for dinner all the time, love it!
I’m just not a morning eater. During the week, I get up, ok someone brings me coffee in bed before I get up.
I’m spoiled, I know.
Then after I’ve had that first cup of coffee, I get up, get my second cup of coffee and go on with the day. But I usually don’t eat anything until close to lunch.
So on the weekends is when I try to make it up to the family on the breakfast thing.
I wanted to use up the Bisquick I had in the pantry and the buttermilk but couldn’t find a recipe I liked so I just made up my own.

Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl, Combine Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar in a bowl using a fork. Mix just until all combined to create a dough.
- In a medium bowl, Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nuts in separate bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir to moisten. Set aside.
- Generously flour rolling surface.I know it seems like a lot but trust me, this is a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto surface and start patting into a rectangular shape with your hand. Flour your hand well also.
- Use a rolling pin to thin dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Do not over-roll, the dough will stick.
- Once rolled out, pour 3/4 cup melted butter over entire surface then spread with pastry brush to even out and get to the edges.
- Sprinkle sugar/nut mixture over butter.
- Start rolling dough from long end.
- Slice into 1 inch to 1/2 inch slices. I used dental floss to slice mine. It really does work, without mushing the pastry.
- Transfer slices to a well greased (sprayed) 9 x 13 pan. I used a spatula to make it easier.
- Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, util just golden brown on tops.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until desired consistency and drizzle over topped of rolls.

Those look amazing Joan – do you deliver? I’m not that far from you =)
Sheri says
Can you prepare these the night before and bake in the morning?
Joan Hayes says
yes Sheri you can, you’ll probably need to add about 5 minutes to your baking time if you take them from the fridge to the oven.

Yummy!
Tracy says
I was wondering if you think the cinnamon rolls could be frozen once they are rolled out, before you bake them?
Joan Hayes says
Hi Tracy, I’ve never frozen the cinnamon rolls but I have frozen un-baked biscuits and they turn out just fine. That said, these rolls should be able to be frozen.
Charlotte says
These were SO good. I made a cream cheese frosting to go with instead and they were perfect. Will definitely make again even though they’re so messy! Lol
geena says
I’ll make them see how they come out.
Leah says
Hi!
I love this recipe, I’m so making these!! I’m always trying to find an easy cinnamon roll recipe, I dont like to bake, I cook alot but I’m not a baker..I baked in culinary school but it was part of course so I know how but this looks really easy…Thank you for sharing it. Ps, I never usually comment but I thought I would.
Joan says
Can you make these with gluten-free bisquick? They sound delicious!!
Joan Hayes says
You sure can! Enjoy!
Leia says
Making these for the second time today… SO GOOD! My husband says we’ll never eat cinnamon rolls out of a can again!
debbie says
Hi, I don’t usually have buttermilk o hand …..is there an easy way to make your own buttermilk in a pinch???
Joan Hayes says
Absolutely! Place 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice in the bottom of a measuring cup then fill the rest of the way with milk to the one cup line. Stir to combine then let sit for 5-10 minutes, until thickened.
Peg Soden says
My mom used to make cinnamon rolls similar to this when I was a kid. She added raisins, though. I wonder if that could work with these.
Joan Hayes says
Of course you could add raisins.
Joy says
I often made these for my two children for “after school” snacks. They loved and appreciated them!
