There is nothing better than these easy cinnamon buns with no yeast to start out your morning! They are so easy, my kids make them! Sometimes you have no yeast and yet you want cinnamon buns, and if so, this is the recipe for you! My Mom made these for me when I was a kid and now I’m making them for my own kids.
Make Delicious Cinnamon Buns with No Yeast
These are a perfect start to a Sunday morning at home with the family. Not only are these incredibly easy cinnamon buns compared to normal cinnamon buns, they are also very kid-friendly and there is nothing my kids love better than helping me out. You will notice on most of my Sunday posts there are little kids hands “helping” in most pictures, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s the point to Sunday mornings! These were my mom’s standby easy cinnamon buns when we were kids, I remember eating these at least once a week! This recipe has been around for decades now and has been a savior for busy Mom’s everywhere.
What do no yeast cinnamon buns taste like?
No yeast cinnamon buns are a more cakey cinnamon buns. Don’t expect that these are going to be light, fluffy clouds of delicious cinnamon carbs, these are more heavy. However they are also very delicious! They are a dense, sweet and cinnamon infused bun and ten times easier than waiting for yeast buns to rise! This is a no yeast, quick and easy cinnamon bun recipe that is sure to become your new go-to!
It’s so fast you can even whip it up during the week!
Easy Cinnamon Buns With No Yeast Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to use a good quality cinnamon when you make these. You can read up on what is the best cinnamon and then decide which one is the right one for you!
- You can make these with or without raisins. The raisins tend to pop up a little bit when baking but we love them just the same! However if you don’t have raisins, this isn’t a problem.
- You can make these the night before and leave them in the refrigerator just fine. Simply preheat your oven and follow the baking instructions in the recipe below.
Happy baking!
Love,

Do you prepare the muffin tins in any way? Like grease with butter or shortening? Also, what does “1 TBSP filling” mean in the ingredient list?

Jane Smyth says
Mother made these for us too, sometimes she intentionally left out the cinnamon, and we thought we were having something special, caramel rolls. Haven’t thought of these in a very long time.

Well, I tried this but changed up the filling. I actually wanted to try making a fruit roll, and so I chopped up some plums, added sugar and flour and spread that over the dough. I made a cream cheese spread for it and it was AMAZING.

" profile_url="https://www.livefyre.com/profile/22931148/" ns="true">KeithaWilson That might be from over-baking it, there will be little crisp bits on the bottom but it shouldn’t all be hard like candy. HTH!
