This ridiculously quick and easy recipe for yeast-free cinnamon rolls is made with no eggs, no butter, and in just about 30 minutes. It’s the fastest, simplest way to get these sweet rolls with the exact same taste and texture as traditional cinnamon rolls in a third of the time.
I love cinnamon rolls and I’m not alone. When I make any of my cinnamon roll recipes (like my Bananenbrood Kaneelbroodjes or Veganistische kaneelbroodjes), they’re generally gone in less than 24 hours. Here’s my issue with that: these recipes take up to two hours to whip up.
Sometimes, I have time to make a 2-hour recipe, sometimes the kids’ pressure is just to great (you know what I’m talking about, right?). For the last little while, I’ve been trying to develop a recipe that tastes like cinnamon rolls, and has the same texture as traditional cinnamon rolls, but take a lot less time.

Kaneelbroodjes zonder gist
Ingrediënten
- 2 ¾ cups Zelfrijzend bakmeel - (notitie 1)
- 1 cup Plantaardige vanilleyoghurt - (notitie 2)
- 5 eetlepels Zuivelvrije boter (ongezouten) - gesmolten (noot 3)
Vullen
- 3 eetlepels Zuivelvrije boter (ongezouten)
- ½ cup Kokos suiker - (notitie 4)
- 1 eetlepel Kaneel
Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the self-rising flour, vanilla yogurt, and melted plant-based butter. If your yogurt is unsweetened, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar to sweeten the dough.
- Stir with a rubber spatula, and when it starts to look crumbly, lightly oil your hands and knead to form a dough ball. If it is too wet, add a bit more flour. If too dry, add a bit more yogurt. You can also prepare this cinnamon roll dough in a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment. Work at speed speed 3-4 until a dough ball forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle extra flour on top of the dough and roll into a 12.5-inch x 10.5-inch rectangle shape.
- Smeer de zachte boter gelijkmatig over de rechthoek.
- In a small bowl, whisk cinnamon and coconut sugar. Sprinkle the mixture and press it evenly onto the buttered dough.
- Roll from the long side to form a cylinder.
- Use a serrated knife or an unflavored dental floss string to cut 9 pieces from the cylinder.
- Leg elk rolletje met de spiraal naar boven op de voorbereide bakplaat.
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown on top.
- Cool down at room temperature on a wire rack before icing.
- To glaze, stir 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk and drizzle on top of the rolls.

If I had to give a con to all these pros, it’s that they are gone too fast. Nine of them with a family of four are gone in less than a day.


Ingrediënten en vervangingen
A simple recipe for me is one that is quicker to make than the classic (check, it takes only 30 minutes), and also that is made with fewer and easier-to-find ingredients. This recipe only takes 5 basic ingredients!
- Zelfrijzend bakmeel – Self-rising flour is essentially a combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. If you can’t find any or don’t want to go to the shop for that, you can make your own. All you have to do is combine two teaspoons of baking powder for every cup of flour. I haven’t tried this recipe with gluten-free flour. In my experience, using GF flour in such baking recipe makes the dough too dense and gummy. But if you’ve tried it successfully, leave a comment below!!
- Vanille yoghurt – I’ve made this recipe with coconut yogurt and cashew yogurt. It really works with any kind of yogurt. The reason I use vanilla yogurt instead of a plain version is to give the dough a slight flavor without having to add vanilla extract.
- Vegan Boter – Any vegan butter alternative works. Measure it melted to be accurate but make sure it’s not too hot.
- Kaneel – There’s no cinnamon roll without cinnamon, right?
- Kokos suiker – Any unrefined sugar works, but coconut sugar is my absolute favorite because it tastes better.
How To Make No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
Making these no yeast cinnamon rolls is really easy, the method outlined in my recipe card below is similar to how I made my Bananenbrood Kaneelbroodjes. Here are photos of the key steps.








Carine’s Tips for Perfect Rolls
Since I can’t include absolutely everything in the recipe card, I’ve kept just below my 7 top tips to make this recipe perfectly every single time.
- The dough is flavored and sweetened by the vanilla coconut yogurt. If you use unflavored yogurt, I recommend adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the dough and 1/4 cup of sugar for flavor. If you use yogurt that is lower in fat, the dough is dryer. But the recipe still works well with any kind of yogurt.
- Voor de vulling, you can use brown sugar, brown erythritol for a low-sugar option, or coconut sugar for a no-refined sugar option.
- The dough should be soft, elastic, not dry. Don’t add too much flour if it’s sticky. Instead, oil your hands and work the dough with oiled hands.
- You can bake the cinnamon rolls individually in a muffin baking pan. Make sure you grease the hole or they will stick.
- Cutting the dough with a tandzijde string is the best way to nicely cut the rolls. Since this dough is softer than regular a cinnamon roll recipe, a knife would damage their shape as you cut them.
- Don’t add cinnamon sugar to the first inch on both edges of the longest side of the rectangle of rolled dough. This non-coated dough will allow the cylinder to stick when rolled. If there was sugar on the edge, the rolls wouldn’t hold their shape as well.
- Roll the cylinder very tight to prevent the cinnamon filling from running out.

Absolument délicieux ! Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe recette facile et efficace
Merci pour le joli commentaire!
could you fill them with sultanas?
Absolutely, you can sprinkle them on top of the cinnamon sugar, before rolling. Press them slightly so they stick to the cinnamon sugar buttery filling.
Wow as usual, you create magical recipes, these are so delicious and a teatime treat.
Heel erg bedankt!
could you use sour cream instead of yogurt
Probably, I never bake with dairy so I am not sure how it will impact the texture.
hi I’m really exited to make these but don’t have yogurt , what could I use as a substitute for yougurt?
I haven’t tried something else yet, may silken tofu …
I haven’t tried something else yet, may be silken tofu …
can I use regular yogurt ( not plant based) and would it work with like a regular trawberry yogurt or should it be plain? thanks
Absolutely, any plain yogurt works I haven’t try strawberry yogurt, but it should work too I suppose.
Hi, can I prepare the dough ahead one night?
You can prepare the dough the day before, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container to avoid the dough to dry. Bring back 1 hour to room temperature before rolling
Could I add rasins
Absolutely! I’d add them when rolling!
WOW. Absolutely delicious and so so easy to make Definitely a family favourite
Dank je!
