HOMEMADE EGGLESS CINNAMON ROLLS

When you have an egg allergy – or intolerance –  buying treats in stores is simply not an option! That is why I am so excited to share this Easy Eggless Cinnamon Rolls recipe.

My little princess, who was diagnostic with egg allergy when she was 1yo, was over the moon when she tried these for the first time! And I couldn’t be happier.

These Easy Eggless Cinnamon Rolls are fluffy, soft, packed with cinnamon filling, then slathered with super luscious and creamy frosting.

What can I say? Totally irresistible!

Besides being delicious they are also very easy and quick to make. They take about an hour from start to finish. I also love that this recipe can be prep the night before and the next morning you just have to let the rolls rise for 25ish minutes and then bake.

Believe me… you need to make these ASAP! Warning: Your house will smell like heaven.
