Why you’ll love these No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls

There are so many reasons why you’re going to love these creative peach cinnamon rolls so much that you’ll want to make them over and over again:

1. They’re divine tasting  – fruity peaches, carmel-y brown sugar, warm cinnamon and crunchy pecans are swirled around the inside of slightly tangy, light rolls. They’re then topped off with a sweetened cream cheese glaze. Super yum!
2. They’re surprisingly easy to prepare and take less time than a traditional cinnamon roll recipe. Since these peach cinnamon rolls call for baking powder instead of yeast, they don’t need a lot of special kneading or to sit and rise before baking. Just mix, roll, fill, slice and bake.
3. They have a surprise inside. The cream cheese glaze hides the filling, so when your friends and family bite into them, they’re expecting cinnamon, but not the peaches. Surprise!

So easy to make, so impressive – and fun to serve, too.

Inspiration for these Peach Cinnamon Rolls

One day, my cousin’s daughter Becca posted on social media photos of these mouth-watering looking cinnamon rolls stuffed with thin slices of fresh peaches. Becca is a professionally trained chef and everything she makes is fabulous! So, it wasn’t a surprise to me that her rolls looked and sounded like something I would LOVE. Because Becca is one of those chefs who cooks without a recipe, I needed to create my own version.
 
I started with a delightful cinnamon roll recipe from our family friends the Gordon’s ranch recipe box. Simply adding thinly sliced peaches and some chopped pecans (for a bit of crunch) to the filling took the rolls from luscious to heavenly!

How to make Peach Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s how you put these amazing rolls together:

1. Prep oven and pan.
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9 by 9-inch square or 9-inch round baking dish (cake or pie pan will work). I use a small pat of butter on a small paper towel to butter my pans.
2. Prep butter-brown sugar filling.
   In a small mixing bowl, use a fork to mash butter to form a paste. Mix in sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Prep dough.
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, buttermilk powder (if using), baking powder and salt. Stir in milk just until combined. Turn dough onto a clean, well-floured surface and knead a few times, just until it comes together. Roll into an 8 by 14-inch rectangle.
4. Add butter-brown sugar filling.
   Spread butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over top of dough, leaving a small (1/4-inch) border around the edges. Sprinkle toasted pecans evenly over top; gently push down on nuts with your hand to adhere.
   
5. Add peach filling.
   With a long side of the dough toward you, arrange peach slices on top of nuts in rows horizontally, starting on the side closest to you. Leave 1/2-inch border on the top.
   
6. Roll and slice.
   Roll up dough as tight as possible, starting with the long (14”) side closest to you. End with the seam side down. Using a sharp serrated knife, gently cut crosswise (using a back and forth motion) into 1 to 1 1/4-inch wide rolls. Place rolls, cut side down, in prepared baking dish.
   
7. Bake.
   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
8. Make glaze.
   While the rolls are baking, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until well mixed and there are no lumps. Beat in cream and vanilla.
9. Cool rolls; glaze.
   When rolls are done, remove from oven and let cool 3 to 5 minutes in pan. Run a knife around the edge of the rolls. Place a cooling rack (or serving platter) on top of pan; invert pan and let rolls drop out. Cool for at least another 2 to 3 minutes before spreading glaze on top.

How to Serve Peach Cinnamon Rolls

Here are a few ideas for serving these heavenly rolls:

1. Warm, with butter on the side, as part of any breakfast or brunch, They’re particularly good served with Spiced Bacon Twists.
2. At room temperature, as part of a morning tailgate before a big game, or for a picnic brunch.

Peach Rolls FAQ

How to store Cinnamon Rolls with Peaches

It’s important to store baked peach cinnamon rolls in an airtight container, to keep them fresh and moist. Because of the cream cheese frosting, they should be refrigerated.

Can these No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls be made ahead?

Yes, these rolls can be prepared but not baked up to 24 hours ahead. Bring to room temperature before baking. Make the glaze while they are baking.
