Grands! Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
Comments(18)
I’ve been experimenting with a gluten-free diet lately. That’s my latest excuse for not updating with more regularity anyways. (Don’t you just love how I always seem to have an excuse? 
) When I was given the opportunity to try these, I couldn’t resist throwing the diet experiment out the window, at least long enough for breakfast. I’ve been gushing about these cinnamon rolls to anyone who will listen, so I figured I better tell all of you as well!
First of all, you just can’t go wrong with Cinnabon and cinnamon rolls. In fact, I have been really wanting cinnamon rolls for quite some time. Living by myself though, I just never could justify making an entire container or even making them from scratch because hello? My thighs just do not need me to polish off an entire batch of cinnamon rolls by myself. Which brings me to this new offering from the folks at Pillsbury. Instead of arriving in a tube, these cinnamon rolls are in a bag. In the freezer section. Imagine how excited I was when I realized, I could make myself two cinnamon rolls. I could make myself two, and put the rest in the freezer for breakfast NEXT Saturday!
I was concerned about how they would turn out being baked on a cookie sheet by themselves, when all the cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had before have been all smushed together in a pan. But I set my oven to 350, and greased my cookie sheet. The rolls looked a little compressed when I took them out of the bag, but I decided to have faith. (These are the regular sized, by the way… I didn’t trust myself not to eat the entire bag of minis.)
20 minutes later, I pulled them out of the oven. They’d puffed up, were normally shaped cinnamon rolls, and they smelled delicious.
In the bag, there was one packet of icing available for every two cinnamon rolls. I was impressed that there was plenty of icing available for each roll, and so conveniently packaged.
The verdict? AWESOME. They were wonderful, not crunchy as I’d worried they would be. And the best part? Being able to bake only 2 at a time kept me from going back for the rest of them. I’d have gladly eaten more cinnamon rolls if they were already baked, but I didn’t want to wait another 20 minutes to bake more. These cinnamon rolls that I can bake individually may be one of the most dangerous things I’ve discovered this year. Especially when they’re chock full of things that I had been trying to avoid.

OMG those look AWESOME. I too craved cinnamon rolls and love the cinnabon version, but had no idea they came in this type of packaging. I had to make an entire tray (five) and alas, I did end up eating them all myself. Yum!
wish we had those here!
Those look delicious and I love that they have built in portion control!
They are not the healthy, agreed but at least you can have a small treat and know that it will just be small!
Hi, found your ad while entrecard dropping – couldn’t resist a visit. Wish we got these in UK supermarkets. I’m thinking of starting a food related blog as well as my online business one. Maybe when I start to plant things for the new season. Most veg are dying off now, just the all-year herbs and some cherry plum tomatoes still not yet ripe. Oh and the chillies. Wonder how hot they are.
Look so yummy!!! Found you with EntreCard!

When I was in Dubai earlier this year I came across cinnabon, they were lovely, sweet and lovely.
We don’t have them over here in UK.. maybe just as well, or I’d be an elephant by now!
That sounds pretty neat. I also like the built in portion controls. Lol, if I have to make a whole package, I will probably eat it myself and regret it for the rest of the week.
Hi,
I didn’t know they had the portion control packs available. That is perfect for a single person at home or just for someone who wants a small dessert to snack on. This could help out from overeating them, they are so yummy! Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care and enjoy your week!
I love anything cinnamon! Food or smells! I buy a cinnamon wheel (pizza dough smothered with cinnamon, oats, butter etc.) every few weeks. Now, I can’t wait to try these!
Mmmmm cinnamon!!! With 6 cinnamon roll loving people in the house I don’t need the portion control so much, unless portion control means tying Ethan’s hands behind his back so he can’t eat my cinnamon roll before I get to it! LOL
I love this! I am diabetic and having those extra Cinnamon rolls out is just too much, this is perfect for me.
Ohhhh man…. those look UH-mazing.
i am not fond of cinnamon but this one looks good!
After I read this post weeks ago I purchased a bag of these. YUMMY!!!! So that wasn’t good enough. I went back and bought another bag. YUUUUUMMMMMY. i then gained 3 lbs from munching on them.

Oh Ill just take a cinnabon bun on my way out.
I just had to try them after reading this… couldn’t get them out of my mind! I posted about them and linked to you! Thanks!
Hi, you can make cinnamon rolls from scratch and freeze them and cook 2 at a time or cook, freeze and reheat. Fun and so much better for you.
