I find these cinnamon rolls taste best when eaten fresh HOWEVER, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
One stand mixer (optional but highly recommended)- I have personally tried to use just my hands to knead the dough and it does work but it is ALOT easier using a mixer (I also just love my Kitchenaid mixer and will recommend it whenever I can)!. Chopped nuts- I love sprinkling the cinnamon sugar filling with chopped pecans or walnuts for a little crunch (and healthy fats)!.
Banana and chocolate- Add slices of bananas and chocolate chips into the filling before rolling for a 'chunky monkey' twist!.Berries- Add some defrosted frozen blueberries into the filling for the perfect fruity-twist on these cinnamon rolls! I recommend frozen as they become softer when defrosted making them easily spreadable (similar to jam) however fresh would work as well.Chia jam- For Valentines' Day this year I spread a layer of raspberry chia jam in the filling of these and rolled them into a heart shape (roll each end of the dough towards the center -creating a heart)!.If you are looking for a way to make these Greek yogurt cinnamon rolls even better.
