There isn’t anything much better than waking up on a weekend morning and enjoying a warm and tender, freshly baked cinnamon roll.  I love this recipe so much because you can do the bulk of the work in assembling these cinnamon rolls the night before.  In the morning, it’s super easy to finish up the recipe and bake these rolls for breakfast or brunch!

How to prepare Make Ahead Cinnamon Rolls:

The first thing you’ll do is make the cinnamon roll dough, knead it a bit, and then put it in a warm place to let it rise. Next you’ll take the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle, brush it with butter and sprinkle a cinnamon-brown sugar filling on top. The dough is then rolled up and sliced into rolls. The rolls are placed into a 9×13-inch pan. At this point, you’ll cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the rolls overnight.

The next morning, the rolls are removed from the refrigerator and given a chance to rise. Then they’ll be ready to bake until golden brown!

After baking, the warm rolls are drizzled with a simple, sweet icing.  Then they’re ready to pull apart and serve.

This recipe makes twelve rolls, which means you won’t be over-indulging on these sweet treats if you plan to share with others. It’s a wonderful cinnamon roll recipe to surprise your family with.  Enjoy!
