Easy Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls
Transform sweet Hawaiian rolls into Easy Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls. You’ll love how much they taste like homemade cinnamon rolls.
I’m no stranger to easy recipes making various types of baked rolls:
Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
Easy Caramel Rolls
And while each of these recipes is simple and streamlined, you’ll have to look awfully hard to find a better way to make an easy homemade cinnamon roll than this.
By starting with fluffy Hawaiian sweet rolls you bypass the whole process of needing to make bread dough, work with a yeast mixture, let the dough rise, etc. You simply slice open some Hawaiian roll, fill them with a cinnamon butter mixture and drizzle with a cream cheese glaze.
