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.

These are amazing! I see someone asked about chia seeds instead of the flax meal. I haven’t had a chance to vet safe flax meal for my son, so I used Neat Egg (chia seeds and garbanzo) and it was perfect. Moist and flavorful!
Hello Jana! Thanks for sharing your feedback. It is good to know that the recipe works well with that alternative ingredient. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed it so much =)
Hi Oriana!
This is Ibis. I tried this recipe, and it turned out relatively good. However, I think that the cinnamon was a bit insufficient and that the dough tasted a bit more like bread than the traditional cinnamon roll. I suggest spreading 3 tablespoons of butter and adding more cinnamon and sugar, Thank you for sharing your recipe! 🙂
Hello Ibis! Thanks for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
This recipe is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Lisa! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =)
Can i sub the flax egg with a chia egg? If yes, what would be the ratio of chia seeds and water ?
Can all your recipes using flax egg be replaced with chia egg?
Hello Celine! I am sorry but I haven’t tested this recipe with chia egg. However, the flax egg works great, you won’t even notice the difference from regular cinnamon rolls. If you do try using this alternative ingredient, please let me know the outcome. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.🙂
