Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a sweet breakfast staple seen in coffee shops and bakeries everywhere these days. So why not make them at home? With an easy recipe like this you can. You can make a big batch like this and freeze any raw cinnamon rolls you don't use and cook them another time. This is not something you're going to eat everyday so it's a perfect indulgent treat every now and then. This goes great with a freshly brewed cup of coffee for a morning treat.
