    I made this, it was delicious, but took 40-45 minutes to bake. I have seen a similar recipe in another site that says 45 minutes. Just so people allow enough time.

    Can you use a non-dairy milk option such as almond milk or oat milk?

      Do you usually use almond milk or oat milk in place of regular milk in recipes? If so, how do those recipes turn out?

      I personally have never tried any other type of non-diary option. But I don’t think it would make much of a difference. I’d be interested in hearing how the recipe comes out for you using almond milk. Thanks for visiting!

    When you say 2 cans, do you refer to the bigger Grands cinnamon rolls or the smaller/regular Pillsbury size?

      I use the regular package of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls that have 8 rolls per package. You need 16 rolls to make this recipe. I will update the recipe card. Thank you for visiting.

    Has anyone made a double batch of this? Are there adjustments to cook time? How many people does this serve? Looks yummy thinking of doing a big batch for a family reunion!

      I'm not sure what the egg mixture would do to the cinnamon rolls. But you could do the prep work the night before. Mix the eggs together with the milk, cinnamon and syrup. I would wait to cut up the cinnamon rolls till morning though…they might dry out too much. Thanks for visiting Morgan!

    Yum! My daughter and I are going to attempt gluten free cinnamon rolls, I'm thinking we should make extra and freeze the dough so we can make a GF version. Thanks for linking up to #HomeMattersParty
