Cinnamon rolls that only take a few minutes? Plus only have a few ingredients? Sign me up!
Have I told you that yeast scares the living daylights out of me? I think it’s a fear that was installed by my mother. She hated it. Told me it was evil and I believed her. Love ya Mom!
Due to this so called “fear” I’m always on the look out for yummy rolls that don’t require me to mess with yeast. I stumbled upon these and saw they only required a few ingredients, I could start them the night before and have them ready quick in the morning. Perfection.
I just took the frozen rolls out the freezer the night before, got them prepped, set them on the counter, then baked them the next morning. The hubby was in love. The co-workers were right there with him. In fact one of them told me yesterday as I assigned him to a trouble ticket promptly at 4:30 when he was leaving for the day and I made him stay, “Julie, it’s a good thing you bring in treats to our meetings to keep me on your good side!”
I am not above bribing. Beware.

I was just wondering….what is the purpose of the pudding mix and butter in this recipe?
Julie Evink says
Char that is the recipe I followed. If you would like to adapt it feel free to, but I haven never tried it that way.
Char says
No, I don’t want to change it. I really was wondering what the purpose of the pudding mix and butter is for. Since I see that the rolls have an icing pack, I was curious if the mix and butter did anything special to the rolls…??? Or if they’re supposed to add a certain flavor to the icing? New to cinnamon roll-making, so I didn’t know if there was some sort of “magic” going on. lol
Julie Evink says
Honestly. That is what the recipe called for! I wish I could tell you more 🙂
Brittany says
So, one of the ingredients in your cinnamon rolls are already made cinnamon rolls? How creative.
Kelly says
I love making these. just an extra special tip is to put the dough balls from the freezer into a bag of cinnamon and shake before popping in the pan. delicious.
Julie says
Oh that sounds sooooo good! Do you do pure cinnamon or a cinnamon sugar combo?

Haha I have that same ‘fear’!! Whenever I see a recipe that has yeast, I tend to steer clear, so these are perfect for me!!

Cinnamon rolls that only require 3 ingredients?! This could be very dangerous for me!
