Cinnamon Rolls with Best Icing (VIDEO)

Big, soft, homemade Cinnamon Rolls are irresistible with whipped cream cheese icing that melts over the warm rolls. We love these freshly baked while they are warm but they also reheat well if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers. Watch the video tutorial and you will realize it’s easier than you think to make cinnamon rolls from scratch.

These easy cinnamon rolls are the perfect breakfast for any holiday or special occasion. They are such a treat, especially on Christmas morning and Easter.

The sweet smell of homebaked treats like Apple Pie and Banana Bread wafting through your kitchen is so comforting and a batch of homebaked cinnamon rolls tops my list of favorites. These are the best when served warm from the oven with some of the glaze melting between each sweet roll.

Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls

These are melt-in-your-mouth soft and the icing is irresistible. As my sister puts it, they are “better than Cinnabon!” and way better than Pillsbury or anything you’d get out of a can.

These easy cinnamon rolls take just 2 hours to make and most of that is rising time. If you’re new to working with yeast doughs, see our tips below and you will be a pro in no time!

The Best Cinnamon Roll Icing

The fluffy cream cheese frosting is so simple with just 4 ingredients and it comes together in 1 mixing bowl: cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. This icing is my favorite the next day when you reheat a cinnamon roll and it gets all melty. I love that it’s not overly sweet but if you like a sweeter glaze, by all means, add more powdered sugar.

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls

Homemade cinnamon rolls are easier than you think. In fact, there is very little active time – most of the time required is in letting the dough rise and puff up.

  1. Make the Dough – combine and knead the dough for 3 min, cover and rise for 30 min in a warm spot
  2. Roll the dough into a 10×17 rectangle and spread with softened butter
  3. Sprinkle on cinnamon sugar and roll tightly into a log
  4. Shape Rolls – Cut into 12 pieces, transfer to a buttered metal 9×13 casserole, cover, and proof 20-30 min in a warm place
  5. Bake the rolls – Brush tops with melted butter and bake
  6. Frost rolls– Make the icing and spread it onto warm rolls.

Tips for Working with Yeast

Be sure to use Instant or Rapid Rise Yeast which is a fast-acting and quick-rising yeast. It speeds up the process. We use the Red Star Brand Rapid Rise Yeast and you can also use their Platinum Instant Yeast.

Heat Kills Yeast and stops the rising process. Never overheat the liquids (they should be 110˚ to 115˚F) and keep the oven under 110˚F if proofing in the oven. I double-check temperatures with an instant-read thermometer.

Pro Tip: “Rapid Rise Yeast” and “Instant Yeast” are used interchangeably. They are not the same as “Active Dry Yeast” which requires additional activating and proofing.

How to speed-proof dough

Yeast doughs require rising times. In most cases, you can cut the rising time by proofing in a warm place around 100˚F to 110˚F.

  • Oven Proofing: If you don’t have a low heat proofing setting, you can warm your oven to the lowest heat setting for 2 minutes and turn it OFF. Set the dough bowl over a towel in the oven to proof, just don’t forget the towel in the oven.
  • Microwave Proofing: Place a damp kitchen towel in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Cover dough with plastic wrap, place in the warm microwave, and let rise in the warm microwave with the door closed.

Common Questions

Can I use less butter for low-fat cinnamon rolls?

Butter plays a crucial role in how moist the cinnamon rolls are. Unless you want a dry cinnamon roll, don’t skimp on the butter. In fact, you can use even more inside the rolls and brush the tops with double the butter.

What kind of flour should I use for cinnamon rolls?

All-purpose flour or bread flour works well for cinnamon rolls. Bread flour is even better and has a higher amount of gluten to give you the softest, fluffiest rolls.

What is the best baking pan for cinnamon rolls?

In recent years, I have found that a metal baking pan works best. It conducts heat faster and gives your buns color a little earlier so there is less risk of over-baking.

Why isn’t my dough rising?

Set the dough in a warmer place (100-110˚F oven). Avoid overheating or it will kill the yeast. Also, check that yeast is not expired and avoid adding too much flour.

Why are my cinnamon rolls dry?

Avoid over-proofing your dough. If you let it rise for too long, you will exhaust the yeast and the rolls can fall flat or seem dry when baked. Also, avoid adding too much flour and over-baking.

Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls

If you love make-ahead desserts like Lemon Bars, Baklava, and Cheesecake, you’ll be happy to know that you can make cinnamon rolls the day before and enjoy freshly baked cinnamon rolls in the morning. Check out our Overnight Cinnamon Rolls Recipe.

To Reheat: You can quickly warm refrigerated rolls in the microwave for 18-20 seconds. The dough becomes soft and the frosting softens and melts like a thick glaze over the cinnamon roll.

These cinnamon rolls and whipped cream cheese frosting remind me of my favorite bakery rolls and you really can’t beat a freshly baked cinnamon roll.

Cinnamon rolls with frosting
Big, soft, homemade Cinnamon Rolls have the best cream cheese icing and they always disappear fast! They are incredible warm from the oven with some of the glaze melting between each sweet bun.
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 23 minutes
Rising Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 58 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 12 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients for Cinnamon Rolls:

  • cup  warm milk , (110-115˚F), not hot
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast, (rapid rise)
  • 1 large egg , room temp
  • Tbsp  unsalted butter , melted, divided
  • Tbsp  granulated sugar
  • 1/2  tsp  salt
  • cups  all-purpose flour or bread flour, plus 2 to 4 Tbsp (and more to dust)

For the Cinnamon Roll Filling:

  • Tbsp  unsalted butter , softened, plus more to for grease pan
  • 1/4  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2  Tbsp  ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Icing:

Instructions

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls:

  • In a large mixing bowl (or using a stand mixer), add 1 cup warm milk (110-115˚F) and sprinkle with 1 packet instant yeast. Whisk in 1 egg, 4 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp melted butter and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Add 3 cups flour (measured correctly*) and stir in with a firm spatula or wooden spoon. Add more flour 1 Tbsp at a time just until dough is no longer sticking to fingertips or the walls of the bowl. It should still feel slightly sticky but won’t stick to clean/dry fingertips. Knead dough by hand for 3 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm 100˚F oven for 30 minutes (or at room temp 1 hour), until doubled in size.
  • Generously dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Sprinkle dough lightly with flour and roll into even 17″x10″ rectangle, squaring off the sides. Dot the surface of dough with 6 Tbsp softened butter and spread it out evenly all the way to the edges.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon and sprinkle ALL OF IT evenly over buttered dough. Roll the dough up starting with one of the longer sides and work in a typewriter motion, keeping a tight roll. Once it's rolled up, push ends in slightly to make them a little more uniform then slice into 12 equal-sized rolls.
  • Butter sides and bottom of a 9×13 metal baking pan with 1 Tbsp butter and arrange cinnamon rolls, evenly spaced with the cut-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm 100˚F oven 20-30 minutes, (or room temp 50-60 min), until puffed. Do not proof too long.
  • Brush tops with 1 Tbsp melted butter and bake at 350˚F for 20-24 mins or until tops are lightly golden. Let cool in pan 15 minutes then frost warm buns generously with the cream cheese glaze (instructions below).

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Icing:

  • In a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together 4 Tbsp softened butter and 4 oz cream cheese. Beat in 1/2 Tbsp vanilla then add 1 cup powdered sugar and continue mixing on high speed until fluffy (3-4 min), scraping down the bowl as needed.

Notes

*On Measuring Flour: Fluff up flour then spoon into a dry measuring cup. Level off the top.
**Liquid should not be hotter than 115˚F and oven no hotter than 100˚F or you will cook and ruin the yeast.

          Hi D! These are best fresh on the day of, but they are still good for the first 2-3 days. The cinnamon rolls without frosting can be kept at room temperature for a few days but if they are frosted, they should be refrigerated because of the cream cheese.

    First off we absolutely love, love, love these. We make a pan full every week and have one in mornings for breakfast. I have small problem. My rolls seem to come apart. I don’t cut them using floss, I use a pastry cutter. Could this be my problem. I have tried rolling very tight. Tried using more butter, less butter. Less sugar and cinnamon it sure why they keep unwinding and separating. Not all in each batch do this. Only about half. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Just love your site

      Hi Richard! I’m so glad you love the recipe. I’m sorry you’re having such trouble getting them to stay together. Is this while the are raw or once they have baked? My thought would be that over-kneading the dough could make it tough causing it to pull apart and separate when they are rolled. If this is happening during the baking process, then you could try to tuck the ends of the spirals underneath the rolls so that they’re held in place while they rise and bake. I hope that helps.

    Two quick questions, we make these almost weekly and they are great. We use a glass dish instead of metal pan. Does it make a difference? My second question is our rolls always seem to come undone and fall apart. We tried rolling them tight and it doesn’t seem to matter. They just come apart? Any ideas how we can stop this?

      Hi Richard, this can be made in a glass pan, but you may need to adjust the temperature and bake time since glass cooks differently.

      Hi Adelaide, I recommend watching the video again to ensure nothing was substituted or adjusted throughout the process or with the ingredients. Also if you are at a higher elevation that may be the culprit. Ensure you are using regular bake mode in your oven. I hope you try these again soon!

    For particularly moist rolls, drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of warm cream over the rolls just before you bake them. Do not use cold cream because the risen dough will fall. This step makes the fabulous rolls even tastier.

    I have made theses several times and they are melt in your mouth to die from. I am thinking of trying something and was wondering what you thought. Instead of milk I was thinking of using 1/2 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice. Then also add the zest of 1 orange to dough. Let rise, roll out, add filling and bake. For glaze thinking of using the 1 cup of power sugar, along with 1/2 tsp of vanilla, 4oz’s cream cheese, zest from one orange along with 4 Tbsp of soften butter and maybe 2 or 3 Tbsp of orange juice. Was wondering what your thoughts are on this before I try it out

      Would really like to know if you tried to freeze these. I was thinking of going all the way through the recipe up to when the dough is rolled and cinnamon has been added. Thinking instead of cutting, freeze the roll. Then take out of freezer the night before and thaw in refrigerator overnight. Then cut into the rolls, go through the second rise, then butter and bake. Add icing when ready. Just thinking

    Hi Natasha, my name is Sherl Kitchen and I have been wanting to try and make this delicious looking cinnamon Rolls!
    But I have a question my husband bought me a new Fridgidare gallery flat top stove and my oven temperature doesn’t go down to 100 degrees it will only go down to 170 degree. so my question is would that be to warm to cover with the saran so the dough will rise quicker? Or could I cover the dough with foil instead since the temperature is a little higher? I really wanted to do it this way as well instead of letting them sit for a hour lol! I guess I’m impatient lol!

    Moved back to my country after living in the States for 7-8 years, and I was so sad when I couldn’t find decent Cinnamon Rolls, but I was craving Cinnamon Rolls, so I had to try to make it and I found your recipe ( it was a long time ago, didn’t you modified it a bit since then?), the rest was history. Anyone that has tasted this recipe gave a wonderful review, and is always asking when I am going to make it again! Thank you for this amazing recipe!!

    Just made these easy cinnamon rolls, but found an inconsistency in recipe. In the cinnamon roll ingredients list it has 1/2 Tsp of cinnamon, however in the step by step instructions it says 2 Tbsp. Big difference in the amount of cinnamon. Can you clarify?

      Hi Richard, I just took a look at the post and see “1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon” in the recipe ingredient list. If the recipe slider was adjusted, that might be why you’re seeing a difference.

        Hi, My recipe is for 12 rolls. My recipe under the dough portion say 2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted divided but, the video says 1 Tbs. and what does divided mean? Under roll filling my recipe says 1 1/2 Tbs cinnamon but the video says 2Tbs? I am currently following the printed recipe so hope its ok. Thank you

    Hi Natasha! I’ve been following this recipe for years now and I’d like to ask if it’s possible to freeze the cinnamon rolls and enjoy them later. Would you recommend freezing them right away after the second rising or bake them and then freeze them? Thank you in advance!

    • Natasha's Kitchen
      October 16, 2022

      I honestly have not tried freezing these. I guess they can be frozen before that last rising time, then thawed in the fridge overnight, then brought to room temperature and allowed to let rise for that last rise before baking. If you test that out, please let me know how it goes.

    I made These this morning & they turned out delicious. I did 1/4 tsp of kosher salt in the frosting & in the dough, I added the salt after I already started incorporating the dough so it doesn’t interfere with the yeast or sugar when mixing. Also, I didn’t Have a thermometer so I used My finger to make sure the milk was the right temp. I’m in high altitude 5,280 feet & these were perfect at 18-20 minutes 350 degrees. Also, I added a 1 tbs of fresh squeezed lemon juice to the icing just for an extra kick. I also did a dark brown sugar mixture with the cinnamon instead of granulated. Thanks Natasha. This will be my go to recipe!

    Simply the best I’ve ever made, and I’ve tried numerous recipes. These are better than Ikea’s and St-Cinnamons. The only thing I did differently was omit the cream cheese and just use a 1 c to 2.5 c ratio of powdered sugar instead (and vanilla) since I didn’t have any cream cheese (I prefer a straight up buttery taste anyway). I had no problem making them rise super huge with the oven method and they stayed soft. Will be making these again and again. Thanks Natasha!

    Made these last night and they came out amazing! Used half white sugar and half brown sugar and it was perfect. They’re my husband’s favorite and he was so happy! However, looking at the calorie count for this recipe was a little surprising. We didn’t have cream cheese so we ended up making a more basic heavy whipping/buttercream icing, but even so — is it 494 calories per 1 cinnamon roll? Could we cut the rolls smaller next time for smaller calorie portions or would that affect the rise? We may have to save these as a special treat if that’s the case — but they came out incredible all the same!!

I have never had a cinnamon roll this light & tender! My only question is – how do you not eat all the icing before putting it on the rolls? Lol! It’s delicious! Thank you!

    These are the best cinnamon rolls EVER!!! I’ve been trying to find a recipe that tastes like my grandma’s for what seems like forever and I either would mess them up, the frosting wasn’t very good, or the rolls just didn’t have much flavor. But THESE are by far the closest I’ve ever had to my grandmas and I didn’t mess them up!!! They are perfect and the cream cheese frosting is just amazing!!

    Hii Natasha!! I just wanna know that can I use your microwave method to proof these? Because you only mentioned about oven proofing other than proofing at room temperature

      Hello Sendini, yes you can. You may check the instructions and this part in the blog post where it says “Microwave Proofing” Hope that helps.

    Made these today. Very easy. I made the icing without the cream cheese. Very good. I’m anxious to try more of your recipes as I feel confident they will turn out and not be a waste of product or time.

    Love this recipe. My rolls rise well and they come out tasting amazing. The question is, when they come out of the oven they are very puffy and nice. but as they cool, they shrink up and are not as airy. What am I doing wrong?

      Hi Tim, you may be either overbaking them or over-proofing and wearing out the yeast.

    I like to add brown sugar to the granulated white sugar. It gives it a better taste!

    These are amazing!!! I haven’t had cinnamon rolls in years because I stopped eating refined sugar and only sweeten my deserts with maple syrup and/or coconut sugar so that’s what I did here and I was in heaven! It was so nice to have these again and so much better homemade. Great recipe!

    Hi! This recipe looks good. I do have a question, in the video you say cut-side up but in the written recipe you say cut-side down. Which one is it? Also, can you make chicken kebabs with sweet and spicy sauce please? Thanks!

      Hi Lacey it is the same thing. There will be two cut sides and one of them should be touching the pan and the other will be facing up. I meant not to lay the cinnamon roll on its side. I hope that makes sense.

      Looks like the video recipe and the non video recipe are different. Watched the video under your videos and the one just on your page. Are they the same? One says use a metal container your video shows a ceramic pan

    Hi Natasha: I made the cinnamon rolls. they were fantastic. I do admit I used a bread machine for the dough and I need to add more cinnamon/sugar for the inside.

    Thank you.

        I made them then refrigerated the. Over night. Though in the morning it was much to hit to bake them, so I froze them. Is that okay?

          Hi Clara, I honestly have not tried freezing these. I am guessing they can be frozen before that last rising time, then thawed in the fridge overnight, then brought to room temperature and allowed to let rise for that last rise before baking. If you test that out, please let me know how it goes.

    A really nice quick alternative for the overnight version. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 was there was way too much cinnamon. I’d go with no more than 1 tbsp (depending on the kind of cinnamon). I also like classic buttercream rather than cream cheese frosting. But overall, I’d definitely make these again.

          Hi Sarah, it depends on how large your roll your dough out and how small you cut your slices. It sounds like you are getting 10 larger cinnamon rolls which is perfectly ok. I’m so glad this is one of your favorite recipes!

    Hi Natasha,

    I’ve made this recipe twice because it tastes amazing. But both the times i made once i apply the butter and sugar and try to roll it, it becomes one sloppy mess. It is difficult to cut through as well i used a thread to cut it the second time.

    But it was such a sloppy mess it was difficult to handle. Can you tell me what I can do to fix this cause i followed everything to the T

      Hi Melissa, cutting through cinnamon rolls can be challenging. Try our floss method that I shared in this cinnamon rolls post. It becomes much easier to create a clean cut.
