This Cinnabon Copycat Recipe is one amazing recipe that is easy and super delish. Perfect for breakfast, dessert or snack. If you love cinnabon’s you’ll love this.
Instructions
1. First, make the dough. If you have a bread machine that is the easiest way. Or you can hand mix it or use a kitchen aid. We hand mixed and kneaded it ourselves—but a bread machine would’ve resulted in a better dough. When using your bread machine follow the manufacturer instructions.
If you make the dough yourself then add the yeast to warm/hot milk (at least 100 F) mix. Add eggs, margarine, salt, sugar, and flour. Stir and knead well. While kneading it, turn the oven on to 200 F.
When the dough is ready turn the oven off and covers the dough in with a damp paper towel, put the bowl in the oven and let rise till double the size (one hour).
Be sure to use margarine and bread flour for best results (ingredients are below).
2. While the dough is rising make this AMAZING cream cheese frosting (the best) here.
3. Refrigerate the frosting. Then prep the area where you plan to roll out the dough. Clean and dry the surface well. Sprinkle with flour and have flour nearby to use while rolling the dough out.
4. Once the dough is ready turn it out on the prepared surface, cover it with a towel and let it rest 10 minutes.
6. Melt and spread butterover it. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mix. And roll over it so it stays in place. Leave 1/4 inch of the outside long edge clear of butter and cinnamon sugar so it will adhere well and stick dough-to-dough when rolling them up.
7. Then use dental floss and wrap under and pull to cut into 12 equal pieces (the kids were helping so we didn’t get equal pieces—oh well).
8. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking pan/glass dish and cover until the rolls have risen to twice their size. You can also use a cookie sheet if you want them to stand alone and not have square edges.
9. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or until brown. If you don’t like a doughy roll make sure the dough has risen and doubled in size before putting them in the oven and that the rolls are baked well before removing them from the oven.
10. Spread the frosting on the rolls when they are hot and it will melt into the roll. Once they are cooled top them with another dab of frosting.

This special Indonesian cinnamon, called Makara, is trademarked by Cinnabon. And because of that trademark, you won't find this product in your local grocery store spice aisle.
Yes, according to Cinnabon's website, their signature frosting is exactly what puts their rolls over the top. "It's often been imitated but never replicated. The smooth, Ooey-Gooey topping of Cinnabon cream cheese frosting adds another depth of flavor.
Classic Cinnabon cinnamon rolls are large and dense, rich in fat and carbs and contain 880 calories each (15). But these are not even the most unhealthy item on the menu. That honor is reserved for the Caramel Pecanbon.
Cinnabon's creators set out to find the most flavorful and aromatic cinnamon possible, and settled on "Korintje" or "Makara," a variety that can only be harvested from cassia trees in the mountains of Indonesia. It's considered the gold standard of the spice.
Most cinnamon roll recipes on the internet call for filling the rolls with butter, but Cinnabon's secret to the perfect shape is actually margarine. The dough is made with butter, but before adding the original blend of cinnamon and brown sugar, employees smear margarine across the dough.
The smooth, Ooey-Gooey™ topping of Cinnabon® cream cheese frosting adds another depth of flavor. Painted all over our rolls, it's a final layer to perfection.
A Cinnabon Classic contains 880 calories and 36 grams of fat, 17 of which are saturated. By comparison, a Big Mac contains 550 calories and 29 grams of fat, 10 of which are saturated. Don't forget that this is a dessert, however, so there's nearly 60 grams of sugar, the equivalent of nearly two cans of co*ke.
The most significant difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is the inclusion of nuts. Cinnamon buns often have pecans, walnuts, or even raisins in the filling. They occasionally have nuts sprinkled on top after baking.
Our world-famous cinnamon roll is made with a combination of warm dough, legendary Makara cinnamon, and signature cream cheese for a freshly baked, irresistible sweet treat.
Simply put, refrigerating Cinnabon rolls can affect their texture and taste. These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm and fluffy, just like when they first come out of the oven. Refrigeration can lead to the rolls becoming hard and the frosting losing its silky smooth texture.
Where Can You Buy It? Although Makara cinnamon is grown in Sri Lanka, you can purchase it online or at some specialty spice stores. If you want to make Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls at home, you'll need Makara cinnamon as it's the key ingredient in their secret recipe. You can find Makara cinnamon on Amazon.
Currently, Cinnamon Bun wears a cone with fire sprouting from the top and has blue skin due to a spell protecting him from the Fire Kingdom's heat. He either carries a staff with a fire on top or a lance.
