Quick Cinnamon Buns

These cinnamon buns are great for when you want a cozy breakfast ready quickly. Unlike regular cinnamon buns, these are not made with yeast, so come together in less time. I wouldn’t say that these are a straight swap for traditional cinnamon buns but when you’re short on time and the craving hits, this quick recipe does the trick! Warm out of the oven with a dab of butter on top or a dollop of whipped cream and berries on the side are our favourite ways to serve these cinnamon buns. The kiddos like them for a weekend breakfast or after school snack. If you don’t have a ton of time to wait around for dough to rise, give these cinnamon buns a try.
