Cinnamon Rolls

Fluffy, soft and super delicious!!! Want some??

I’ve been making these cinnamon rolls for years now and they’ve never let me down. The perfect indulgence, cold or warmed up with a gooey sweet icing.

This was the first time I used coconut sugar and honestly there was no difference in taste. The icing will be a little browner in colour. I kept it to normal icing powder for that.
