Quick Cinnamon Rolls Hack
In quarantine time moves slowly, that is unless you’re home with your kids who are constantly hungry. The only way to know the time of day is when it’s time to eat.
I love cinnamon rolls but they take a lot of effort, and sometimes instant gratification is king. In other words, I’d rather not waste my life on rising yeast.
The secret to my quick hack is using my favorite King’s Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. I always have them in the house because they’re good for so many uses, savory or sweet. Now realistically, you could make these individually but we all know you’ll be going back for more so you might as well use the whole bag.
I’ll let you in on a secret, if you’re truly lazy (or tired, or over it) you can skip the baking step, honestly. Just slather on the cinnamon spread, top with icing and be done with it. No one’s going to judge you, especially in quarantine.
Once you make these, you won’t regret this sweet hack.
