Hi again! Just wanted to let you know that this recipe was a total success in terms of time, flavor, and ooooooh so gooey! One girl loved it, one not as much as she is not a “sweet” person! Thank you so much, Chelsea, this is a perfect go-to recipe for early morning treats!

Bless your heart. I have an even easier recipe.
One (or more depending on size of pan or skillet and number of people) can of frosted cinnamon rolls
Open and separate the rolls
Leave frosting out to warm
Then place one whole cinnamon roll in the center
Wrap it with unrolled cinnamon rolls
Bake per directions
Over campfire in dutch oven or in propane oven or convection tabletop oven
Spread frosting on top when done…
That’s it. Easy peasy. Been doing this for years. .

Hey Chelsea. What is the weight of the biscuit packages you used? Or how many biscuits in each? I am in Canada and our package sizes are usually different so I’m just wondering so I can make sure I buy the right amount. Thanks!

Could you do these on the stovetop? I found this recipe with our RV share website. It would be easier in the RV on the stove instead of oven. What do you think?

I’ve never tried making these in mini bundt pans, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The bake time will likely be different so just keep an eye on them 🙂

No I wouldn’t use Grands. I just use regular refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 🙂

In reply to Katie.

So happy to hear this is one of your favorites Katie! 🙂 I would try adding a tin foil tent to just the outside buns for about 5 minutes (after initial baking time) and that should help the inside cook without the outside being overdone.

By: Katie

Katie — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 01:27:45 +0000

In reply to Taylor.

These are my favvvoorriitteeee! One thing I’ve noticed, the outside of the buns always cook faster than the inside of the bun, which is a pain! Any suggestions for how to stop that? Besides that, this receipe is one of my all time favs. Thank you!

I am not the type to make dough and let it rise and roll it out and all that good stuff just for bread, or cinnamon rolls, or anything else for that matter. I am too lazy, I admit it lol. However, My husband is always asking for cinnamon rolls, they are his favorite thing in the world, and I try to spoil him by making what he likes cause he works hard for me. Since I am not the dough making type, I just usually make him a cinnamon roll cake, but now that I have found this recipe, I will be making this from now on. I made it today and he devoured half of f it himself. He loves it, says that ever bite is like the inside of a cinnamon roll, which is the best part.

Thanks for posting this. I’m sure I’ll be making it a few times a week. I love how simple it is,and basically 25 minutes from start to in my tummy. 🙂

Sure that will work great! The cooking time will likely be different (longer) and you will likely need more biscuits to fill up the pan! 🙂 Enjoy!

I would love to try the 30 minute cinnamon roll in the cast iron skillet but I don’t have a cast iron skillet or any other type of skillet that can go in the oven. Can I just use a 8″ round cake pan? Do I need to change anything?

In reply to Dan.

Glad to hear it! I’ve never had a problem with the centers being under-done at the time amount, so it must be a difference in ovens! Either way, checking and then poking with a toothpick should solve the problem 🙂

By: Dan

Dan — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 16:54:20 +0000

My wife and I stumbled upon your recipe through the Buzzfeed 39 Skillet Dishes page. Love the idea. Just made our first batch. They taste wonderful but, dang if we shouldn’t have checked the center to make sure they were done. They sure looked done. Anyway, this is just a message to all who try this to go ahead and let these bake to the upper end of the time allotted, then check your centers with a toothpick. Because the outside looked so good and crispy and we were so eager to dive into them, we didn’t realize our mistake until we had iced, cut and plated them. We stuck them back in, icing and all, for another six to eight minutes. Still doughy, but better. Definitely a recipe worth experimenting with. Thanks, Chelsea.

Just made this for Hubster and he LOVED it. Definitely making this again for the upcoming holidays!!!
A few things;
I found it easier to brush the butter on rather than ‘dip’ but I think that is because of the smallish container I used to melt the butter.
I used 2 round cake pans and nested together to give it a thicker ‘wall’ as I didn’t have a small skillet.
I also used just one package of biscuits (Grands size)and didn’t want to open another for just 1 or 2 more and have the rest leftover so it was more of a ‘ring’ but it came out just perfect!
Thanks for sharing!

I have made this a couple of times, and it is extremely delicious. Yesterday I used a different, simpler (in my opinion) technique that combines another favorite pinterest recipe, garlic bread from canned biscuits. Instead of rolling out the biscuits, I cut them in quarters, then dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar. I also had my cinnamon and sugar in a plastic storage bowl, so I dipped in butter, put a few pcs in the storage bowl, put the lid on, and shook it up. That worked great also. I have a bowl that you can use to batter things that I am going to try next time, thinking I should be able to put all in at once, close and shake up, making prep even faster. Can you tell I like short prep time? I’m not sure how to describe the breader, but if you google it, you can see what it is.

I took your great idea and kicked it up a notch – I put brown sugar and butter and pecan pieces in the bottom before the rolled up pieces of cinnamon biscuits and then turned it out when it was done – nice caramelly – not a word – yummy goo – I added cream cheese to the glaze – just saying Omg – lol

Sorry Beth! I must have misread in my comment page the post you were commenting on! I haven’t tried this recipe in anything but a skillet, but I’m sure a round cake pan would work. You could try an 8 or 9 inch round cake pan, it just might require extra of all of the ingredients. Let me know if you give it a try and how it works out! 🙂

This looks both beautiful and delicious, and I’ll second everyone thanking you for saving us the rising time!

However, may I repeat Beth’s question from above because it looks like your reply might’ve applied to a different recipe:

Does this have to go into a skillet or could an 8-inch cake pan or even a 9-inch pie dish work, too?

Thank you! Can’t wait to try it.

Thank you Beth! Just a regular skillet would work great too! And a casserole dish would be great, you just might need to cook it in the oven for a little bit (to get the cheese melty) and then place the fries on top!

We’re rolling back the time Sunday morning (really don’t like daylight savings time), sleeping in, and brunching on your cinnamon skillet cake.

I’m seriously in love with cinnamon rolls, but it’s really time consuming!!! If I can get my fix, IN A CAKE version, no less, I definitely would! 🙂

I found these on pinterest and HAD to try them. This cinnamon roll skillet cake has changed my life! My whole family was going crazy and it was gone so fast we almost made another one right after the first one. This recipe is my new go-to cinnamon roll dessert!!

Thank you so much Cate! Oh yeah, savory seasoned sugary cinnamon rolls do not sound too great haha! I have a large 12 inch skillet that I use for cooking meat and savory meals and then a small 8 inch skillet for desserts!

Love cinnamon rolls and these easy skillet rolls are such a great idea! So dangerous though since I would probably want to eat the whole batch hehe 🙂

Ahh this is so cool! I love that you made this in a skillet and made it one giant cinnamon roll! I’m borrowing a skillet from work, but totally just need to get my own, haha. I love that shot of you drizzling the frosting on top. Looks so good!

A cinnamon roll skillet sounds like one awesome idea! I love cinnamon rolls .. but I can’t make them often since I just want to eat way too many!! haha I could totally understand you guys eating a few of these bad boys!

By: Alyssa @ My Sequined Life

Alyssa @ My Sequined Life — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:28:33 +0000

What a fabulous idea! We have a cinnamon roll recipe that works wonderfully, but after 1 1/2 hours of waiting for rise time/baking/etc., my stomach is growling big time. I’ve never tried a shortcut recipe with biscuit dough before – it looks amazing (and delicious)!

Cate @ Chez CateyLou — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:58:33 +0000

Definitely a bold statement, but I really think you might have reinvented cinnamon rolls! These look amazing, and I can’t get over how easy this is. Such a great idea! Pinning! Do you use a seperate cast iron skillet for baking and cooking? I usually use mine for cooking meat, so I feel like it is kind of seasoned with savory flavors! Not delicious for cinnamon rolls…

By: Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust

Oh. My. Gosh. These look so incredible. Seriously, only 3 in 4 days? Weak! 😉 I want to reach through the screen and eat these right now. But instead, I guess I’ll just have to settle on pinning then and making them right away. 🙂 Hope your week is going well, sweet girl!

So funny..I’m totally in the process of developing cinnamon rolls. They are just always a winner!
But, easy and no yeast and in a skillet cake? Yea…you may have just reinvented them. Love this!

I adore cinnamon rolls, but who has time to wait for them to rise in the morning?! Not I. But this cake is a thing of genius.
