If you are looking for the perfect Christmas breakfast treat, these quick and easy, no-yeast cinnamon rolls can be on your table in less than an hour. Baking cinnamon rolls without yeast cuts down on the preparation time since you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise before baking and no kneading is necessary. Even though the dough isn’t as light and flaky, these rolls are still delicious. If you want to make them gluten-free, substitute a gluten-free flour blend, like Cup 4 Cup, in place of regular flour. Enjoy!
