I’ve tried a few cinnamon roll recipes over my years as a mom.  These are so delicious!  And beautiful!  No doubt, our favorite cinnamon rolls of ALL TIME!

First of all…

They are so easy.  The ingredients can be thrown into a bread maker without all the time and hassle of making the dough from scratch.

THAT’S a bonus!!!

So then all you have to do is roll them out, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar, put them in the pan to rise and bake!!

I don’t know about you but if I have to let them rise, punch them down and let them rise again… unless I’m LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO, that doesn’t appeal to me.  🙂

And lets not even talk about kneading them!  Bread maker for the win.  Absolutely.  THIS is the one that I have.

When they come out of the oven…

Is when all the magic happens!  Add vanilla or orange flavoring to the cream cheese frosting and spread it while the rolls are still warm.

Simple, easy and delicious!

It’s no doubt these are our family’s favorite cinnamon rolls!  My stomach can’t do bread very well, but if I take even ONE BITE… I have to eat at least one or two more.

Of course, you can use regular frosting if you aren’t a fan of cream cheese.  And you can add nuts or sprinkles as your heart desires.

Try them out on your family!
