Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 5:
Making Basic No-Bake Cinnamon Rolls
-
Soften the butter. There are a few ways to do this. You can either microwave the butter for 10-15 seconds, leave it out for 40-45 minutes, or you can pour a few cups of very hot (just below boiling) water into a double boiler, or saucepan with a metal bowl nested inside. Put the butter over the water bath and allow to soften. Keep an eye on it, however, so that the butter doesn't start to melt. -
Mix the butter with the cinnamon sugar until well combined and butter is brown from the cinnamon.Advertisement
-
Roll out your bread. You can use a rolling pin for this. Your bread should be flat, but it shouldn't break. If it does end up breaking, then that means you have rolled it too much.
-
Spread the butter mixture evenly onto the bread. You can use either a knife or spoon to do this.
-
Roll the bread into a log, then cut into thick slices.

Method 3 of 5:
Making Walnut and Pecan No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Bites
-
1Whisk together the milk, sugar and yeast in a bowl and let it stand until frothy, for about five minutes.
-
2Transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer. With the paddle attachment, beat in the egg and salt on medium-high speed.
-
3Change to the dough hook and add 1 ½ cups of the flour and mix on medium speed until a somewhat smooth dough forms. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
4Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the butter and enough of the remaining flour so that the dough is not sticky, but smooth and soft.
-
5Transfer to an oiled boil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
-
6Press the dough down then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead two or three times then roll the dough out with a rolling pin.
-
7Cut small triangles out of the dough, about five inches long.
-
8Set dough triangles aside.
-
9Crush the walnuts and pecans. You can do this with a rolling pin.
-
10Soften the butter in the microwave, then mix the cinnamon and sugar into the butter.
-
11Roll the nuts in the cinnamon, sugar, and butter mixture.
-
12Spread the butter mixture on dough triangles, then add the crushed nuts.
-
13Roll the triangles into small balls, creating a sort of biscuit shape.
-
14Line the bottom of a 10” cast iron skillet with a parchment paper circle that completely covers the bottom of the pan and goes slightly up the sides.
-
15Arrange the rolls side up in a single layer in the skillet. Top with a second parchment circle, then cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise 30 minutes.
-
16Remove the plastic wrap from the skillet and cover it tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Place the skillet on the stove over very low heat and cook 15 minutes.
-
17Remove the foil and place the bottom side of a large baking sheet over the skillet then invert so that the rolls fall in a circle onto the baking sheet. Place the skillet back on the stove and slide the rolls back into the skillet (on the parchment). Cover with the aluminum foil and cook until the rolls are lightly browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes longer.
-
18Remove the rolls and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

Method 4 of 5:
Making Chocolate Chip No-Bake Cinnamon rolls
-
1Roll the cake out with rolling pin until it is flat. The cake shouldn't crumble.
-
2Soften the butter by putting it in microwave for 30 seconds.
-
Melt the chocolate chips . The easiest way to do this is to put it in a heatproof bowl in the microwave until melted completely.
- Seeing as the chocolate is being melted, you don't have to use chocolate chips if you don’t have any, you can use chopped chocolate. The main thing is that it all needs to melt, so you should be sure the chocolate is small enough to melt.
-
4Spread the melted chocolate and butter on cake.
-
5Sprinkle the desired amount of cinnamon sugar onto cake slice.
-
6Roll the slice of cake into a log looking roll.
-
7Cut smaller rolls off of the end of the bigger roll.
-
8Put in refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
