GOOEY CINNAMON ROLLS: CINNABON COPYCAT RECIPE
Before I had this homemade cinnamon rolls recipe, I was addicted to Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. They were large, soft, and gooey. I’m all about the gooey. I searched and searched (mostly recipe books because recipe websites were not a huge thing back then) and finally found a key idea. Add heavy cream to the cinnamon buns before baking. THIS is the secret ingredient and what makes the rolls rich and gooey. Cinnabon copycat recipe? That’s not what I was going for, but I think we pretty much got it.
Here’s how you do it. After the cinnamon rolls are rolled into their pretty swirls and you’ve allowed them to rise in the pan…right before they are ready to bake, warm heavy cream in a small bowl. Why warm the cream? Because your rolls have risen in warmth and you don’t want to add refrigerator-cold cream to your cinnamon rolls. Adding warm (not hot!) heavy cream will keep the rolls rising as they should during baking. Pour the heavy cream overtop all of the rolls and watch that rich cream soak in and around the cinnamon roll dough.
Can you make the cinnamon rolls without heavy cream? Yes. Will they be good? Yes. Will they be as gooey? No. I find that the heavy cream helps the filling of the cinnamon rolls to be smoother and not as grainy. So just try it, K?

Yesterday I spent the entire day searching for a good cinnamon roll recipe until i decided to try out yours. I made the rolls today and OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! words cannot describe it properly how good they are! my whole family loved them! I'm so grateful for this amazing recipe, Julie! You explained all the steps so well and even tho I've never worked with yeast before, you gave me the courage to make this gooey and fluffy deliciousness. I'm going to recommend your channel/blog to all of my friends! Thank you so much! ❤️ Liked and subscribed

I've been sceptical of trying out cinnamon rolls mainly coz it looked like too much work but what else to do in lockdown? 😅
Recipe review- PERFECT! Everything from the dough to the filling to the glaze. Bang on!
If anyone's outcome wasn't as expected, you just didn't follow the recipe right. Period.

This has been my go-to recipe for the past few years. It's never let me down! The cream before baking is an absolute game changer!
I don't have a stand mixer, so I always knead by hand. It's such a pain but it's beyond worth it!

The best cinnamon roll recipe on the internet, hands down. The heavy cream makes such a huge difference. Other recipes I've tried without it turn out dry. Made it several times and it's always fantastic.

[mariamalmuhairi]

Hands down this is the best cinnamon recipe I have ever done. I tried many recipes this is the only one that was really soft, and gooey. I recommend that you guys should try making them, I promise you wont regret.

This is my holy grail...I spent years literally looking for a cinnamon roll recipe I loved and finally... have made these soooo many times loveeee them

[epic_simone]

tried probably 5-6 different receipes. This one is BY FAR the best. Thank you for sharing!

These are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever ate. I have ate the ones you buy in the store and have never liked them but now I love cinnamon rolls, well these anyway. I have never made them before I made these. I was scared to death, just knew I would mess it up. I used my bread maker to knead the dough and it was so easy. I can't tell you how much I appreciate finding this recipe. I gave some to my mother who is 90 years old and she loved them. They are so yummy!
You made 2 ladies so very happy. I put them in the freezer and take one out when I want one. So amazing!

Learnt this recipe from you, years ago.
It's Still THE best cinnamon rolls recipe.

This was the first yeasted dough I had ever made AND I was running on no sleep and they still came out perfect. It basically saved mother's day because I hadn't been able to buy any gifts because of quarantine. They were so good that my dad requested them for father's day too! Thanks for the great recipe <3

I have been making cinnamon rolls for years and have had a Cinnabon copycat recipe that is to die for. I recently was taking care of a dear friend's acreage and was craving cinnamon buns. At the time, I was disappointed I didn't have my "Go to" recipe with me & so I had to look on-line for another copycat recipe. I was actually looking to find my go to recipe when I came across this one. The 4.9 * rating with thousands of reviews caught my eye. I will have to admit, the tag line about a "Secret ingredient" had me rolling my eyes. Well Julie, I owe you an apology!! You certainly were NOT lying or misleading me with a secret ingredient! The addition of the heavy cream just before baking absolutely brought these rolls to the next level!! So much so, I thought I had actually died and gone to heaven. LOL Thank you so very very much for sharing your true "Secret ingredient" with us!!!❤ My family and friends thank you too!

I made cinnamon rolls for the first time using this recipe and they turned out really well! They didn’t look as visually appealing as yours due to my terrible rolling skills, but still tasted fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!

[igneous]

Just made these for Christmas and everyone in my family couldn't stop talking about them. They tasted even better than Cinnabon and the heavy cream over the top of them really made a big difference. Will be using this recipe for years to come! Thank you so much

[whatcanidooo]

I had honestly always felt kind of meh about cinnamon rolls, but I made these at my mom's request for mother's day and they were so SO good. It was also my first time making a yeasted dough. I've been enlightened, lol

[estelleadamski]

Just made this now, out of the oven. Mine took double the time to rise, my house is a bit cold. Left mine in the oven for 20 min. They look great. I tried another recipe that I kneaded by hand, forget that! My Kitchen Aid did a excellent job, and the dough was so easy to work with/ Since I have a granite countertop, I though it might be too cold, so I rolled the dough out on a cloth. I added raisins right before I rolled it up and added maple since I like it. I never had a Cinnabon before so love this!

[paulchavez]

I made these for the first time two weeks ago, my kids have asked me to make them 3 times since then. This is the best cinnamon roll recipe and I am glad I found it!

[williamshyne]

I made these for my wife's office and the compliments that came back to me were that these cinnamon rolls were the best they all had ever had! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[chiaoutzu]

I’ve never baked or made anything from scratch and I just recently started to get into making foods- this was such a treat to make for the first time and I’ll definitely be making seconds some day, thank you so much!

[SilverLakeKingdom]
