Bisquick Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Have you only made pumpkin pancakes with Bisquick or biscuits with the contents of this yellow box? I mean….you need to start thinking outside of the box friends (get it?).

It’s a dry baking mix, you can use it for well….baking, lots of things y’all. From dinners to desserts and everything in between we will show you this and a few more.

Take a peek at what you will need here below. A few helpful tips are to use the regular vs. the healthy low fat version. I mean we aren’t counting calories here, and a bit of fat will make these babies more moist and tender so???

Another thing is to use 2% or whole milk. Once again, you want a bit of fat in the mix so they aren’t so dry. Last but not least do NOT bake these too long. One minute too long will make them drier than you want them to be, you want ooey gooey moist bites y’all….with lots of frosting, that too.

Ingredient Notes

• 2.5 cups of bisquick mix is used, I prefer regular and not Heart healthy type
• Milk – 2% or whole is best but you could use a dairy free alternative like cashew milk instead
• Vanilla extract is great, sometimes I will add a bit of almond extract too
• Butter needs to be room temperature and softened but not melted butter
• I like brown sugar and cinnamon mixed together but you could use white sugar instead
• You could add 1/2 c. of raisins, optional, or crushed nuts is good too
  • or spread with other fillings like our Peanut Butter Sweet Rolls

Non stick cooking spray is helpful to slide them out later, and a bit of flour to roll the dough with rolling pin and not stick. 8×8 baking pan is great or 9×9 works too. A bowl to combine dough to form into a ball is needed with a small bowl for glaze.

Powdered sugar glaze

For the top you can either buy a tub of ready made vanilla or cream cheese frosting. OR you can make a simple glaze with just these 2 ingredients whisked together.

• 1 c powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk 2% or 

For more Fall flavors you could add some pumpkin puree into the sugar and thin out with the milk with a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. OR pour some pie filling on top for sweetness like our cinnamon roll breakfast casserole.

One other version we have made without yeast or the need for rising used refrigerated dough. You can take a peek at our cinnamon rolls with crescent rolls too.

in Oven

There is another way to bake these too. Instead of putting them next to one another in a baking dish you can use a muffin tin too! This way they bake faster and just scoop out with a bit of crisp all the way around the edges. Use our temp. and timing in our cinnamon roll muffins recipe for those.

in Air Fryer

And there is one other way, air fryer sticky buns. You’d want to put a piece of parchment on the bottom for this but you can bake to order this way “baking” just a few at a time. Great when it is super hot outside and you aren’t about to turn on your oven.

in Slow Cooker

Always make sure they are no longer sticky inside, check with a toothpick, and top is lightly golden brown take them out. Another cooking / baking option is to make Crockpot cinnamon rolls with Bisquick this way but keep in mind that they won’t get crispy.

How to Save Leftovers

Ok so if you make these you may have a few that weren’t consumed. You don’t want to throw those babies out, I mean that would be tragic. They save quite well but you do need to do it right or they’ll dry out which would stink. Once they are are at room temperature you can slide them into a freezer bag.

Make sure you really suck all of the air out of that bag though so the edges stay tender. Do not put them into the fridge! There is no need for that and if you do they will stiffen up for sure.

Instead, put them on the countertop for up to 2 days. To reheat just put on a plat with more frosting on top and heat. 1 minute or so usually does the trick. The glaze (or a tbsp of maple syrup) will loosen it up again so it will be like sweet rolls once again. Have fresh fruit? Throw some of that on top for freshness!
