Ingredients List
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind will do)
- 1/4 cup sugar (granulated)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (don’t skimp on the flavor!)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for that warm spice kick)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, your choice)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for the sweet glaze)
- 2 tablespoons water (to mix with the powdered sugar)
How to Prepare Easy Bisquick Cinnamon Rolls
- First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures those rolls bake up perfectly fluffy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, and sugar. Stir everything together until it’s smooth and well blended. You want a nice dough consistency, so don’t be shy with that mixing!
- Next, lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Don’t stress if it’s not perfect; it’ll taste amazing regardless!
- Now, spread that melted butter evenly over your dough. It’s the secret to that luscious flavor!
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and brown sugar generously over the buttered dough. Make sure it covers every inch for maximum deliciousness.
- Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one long edge to form a log. The tighter, the better for those swirls!
- Slice your log into 1-inch pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
- Pop those beauties into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly.
- While they’re baking, mix the powdered sugar and water to create a simple glaze. Once the rolls are out and slightly cooled, drizzle that glaze on top, and enjoy your sweet creation!

Tips for Success
Alright, let’s make sure your easy Bisquick cinnamon rolls turn out absolutely perfect! Here are my top tips:
- Don’t overmix: Once you combine the ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher rolls, and we want them soft and fluffy!
- Flour your surface well: This prevents the dough from sticking. A little extra flour goes a long way to keep things moving smoothly.
- Cutting the rolls: Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts. It helps maintain those lovely swirls and keeps the filling intact!
- Keep an eye on baking time: Ovens can vary, so check them around the 15-minute mark. You want that lovely golden-brown color without overbaking.
- Glaze while warm: Drizzling the glaze over warm rolls lets it soak in a bit, making every bite even more delicious!
Variations
Feeling adventurous? There are so many fun ways to mix up these easy Bisquick cinnamon rolls! Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the filling for a seasonal twist. You can also throw in some chopped nuts or dried fruit like raisins for extra texture and flavor. If you’re a chocolate lover, why not sprinkle in some chocolate chips? And for a fun twist, swap out the cinnamon for cocoa powder and make a chocolate version—yum! The possibilities are endless!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Got leftovers? No problem! Just store your easy Bisquick cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, pop them in the fridge, where they’ll last about a week. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warm. Oops! Don’t overdo it, or they might get tough. You can also warm them in a toaster oven for that freshly baked feel!
