Mini Cinnamon Rolls

Mini Cinnamon Rolls. My daughter tends to fall a sweet tooth. Therefore, I occasionally make a breakfast treat for her. This time I decide to attempt making gluten-free cinnamon rolls. While I was in the process of baking the whole house smell like cinnamon. Furthermore, my kids could not wait to have a snack. Likewise, they were jumping up and down could not wait.

Cinnamon Roll Tips

Cinnamon rolls are fantastic for cooler or cold weather. Moreover, these treats are warm and gooey. Of course, these treats are great to have with a warm drink like hot chocolate, coffee, or tea. These rolls can be made ahead of time. Then, bake at a later time if you do not have a lot of time. First, make dry ingredients. Then, mix the dry with wet ingredients. Later, do mix well together. Also, to reduce a messy table surface do apply parchment paper on the table to tell and flat dough. This will help with clean up.

Do try these mini cinnamon rolls. If you enjoy baked goods, do try breakfast cookies. I would love to try chickpea tacos.
