Steps To Take (full printable recipe below)
Prepare The Dough
To make cinnamon rolls without yeast, prepare your dough, mix together the Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix, buttermilk and sugar together until a shaggy dough forms. When measuring your pancake mix, make sure to spoon the mix into your measuring cup with a spoon, then level it off. Don’t scoop your mix with the measuring cup as it will result in too much mix in your recipe, which will make the dough too dry.
Once the dough comes together, sprinkle your work surface with pancake mix, then work your dough into a ball and roll out into a rectangular shape.
Prepare The Filling
The filling is made by combining brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. That mixture is then spread across the cinnamon roll dough, which has been brushed with butter.
Roll And Slice
After the filling is evenly distributed over the dough, the dough is rolled up and cut into 12 pieces. Rolls are placed into a 13″ x 9″ baking pan that has been brushed with butter, then baked for approximately 25 minutes.
Bake And Frost
While cinnamon rolls are baking, the frosting can be prepared. When cinnamon rolls are removed from the oven, I recommend letting them cool for 2-3 minutes, then frosting while they are still warm. Placing the frosting on while the rolls are warm allows the frosting to soak into the rolls, which creates a delicious flavor and texture.

Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
Husband is having coffee and fellowship with a friend and he asked me to make cinnamon rolls. I served the Internet in this one came up. I’m glad I ran across this one. Will be a keeper.
These were sooo delicious and super easy and best of all quick my family loves this recipe
Can you make up the dough with filling and freeze it for another day?
I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but it works with regular (with yeast) cinnamon rolls.
I just made this for breakfast for my family of six. I make yeast cinnamon rolls quite often, but these are just SO easy and taste amazing! We ate the entire pan and enjoyed scraping the gooey and sticky brown sugar bits off the bottom of the pan. I highly recommend this recipe. This will be a staple at my Sunday breakfasts. Thanks for sharing this recipe because it’s definitely a keeper!
I originally posted a 1 star because mine turned out terrible… I wanted to change my rating, but I don’t see my review so I’m writing a new one.
I made a HUGE mistake when trying to make these the first time…. I purposely chose this recipe because it uses Krusteaz pancake mix. However, as I laid down to sleep I suddenly realized… I used FLOUR!! OMGOSH – No wonder it didn’t work. Well, I couldn’t fall back asleep until I tried again with the correct ingredient and they were AWESOME.
Does one have to use the buttermilk mix? Will the sweet cream one work? I live the sweet cream pancakes.
I’ve only tried it with the buttermilk mix, but I imagine the one you are talking about should work. That said, I’ve never had/used that product, so I can’t say for certain.
These turned out fantastic, love how quick they were, thanks. Frosting is great!
