These yeast-free cinnamon buns are truly one of my favorite recipes to date – not only do they taste incredible but they’re also incredibly versatile. You can store them at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months; simply thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them again.

And when it comes time to reheat them – oh boy! – just pop them in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warm and fragrant.

Or try microwaving them for about 20-30 seconds until soft and fluffy – my kids love helping me reheat them this way! Whether you’re serving them as is or topped with whipped cream cheese frosting (another fave recipe!)

, you’ll find that these yeast-free cinnamon buns are always a crowd-pleaser.
