There are a lot of things to love about cinnamon rolls. They’re warm, gooey, and perfect for a winter breakfast. But let’s be real: they can be a pain to make.
Especially if you want them fresh from the oven on a weekday morning. That’s where TikTok cinnamon rolls come in.
These cinnamon rolls take only five minutes to prep, and 30 minutes to bake. So whether you’re short on time or just don’t feel like dealing with yeast, these babies will do the trick.

Here are some commonly asked questions
What are TikTok Cinnamon Rolls?
These cinnamon rolls are a trend that became popular on TikTok. You basically ditch the instructions on the packaging of the cinnamon roll tube and bake them a different way.
The result is giant, Cinnabon-like cinnamon rolls that are so fluffy and delicious.
How to store these Cinnamon Rolls
Once you’ve made the cinnamon rolls, you’ll want to make sure you store them properly so they stay fresh and delicious. Here are a few tips:
– Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
– If you want to keep them longer, you can store them in the fridge for up to 1 week.
– You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in a freezer-safe container before putting them in the freezer.
How to make Cinnamon Rolls in the Air Fryer
Yes – you can make these in the air fryer if you don’t want to run your oven! YAY!
To do so – you will want to make HALF of this recipe and use a small air-fryer-safe pan that fits in your air fryer. I would recommend using the regular-size cinnamon rolls instead of the Grands.
When adding the heavy cream for the small batch – you will only need a half cup. Then just “bake” in your air fryer for 12-15 minutes at 320°F OR until golden on top and cooked through.
Keep checking them towards the end as all air fryers tend to cook a bit differently and you don’t want burnt cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients for TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
- Grands cinnamon rolls
- heavy cream
Can I use regular cinnamon rolls?
We tried the trend with the Grands – as shown in the viral recipe. But I have seen others that made them with the regular size rolls. The result was similar but smaller. Just as you would expect from using smaller rolls.
If you decide to use the smaller ones, you will need to bake them for a bit less time. Start checking them after 17-20 minutes. They should be about done within that time.
How to open a cinnamon roll can
These cans are super simple to open. Just remove the paper wrapper. A lot of times the rolls are under so much pressure that the tube will just pop open on its own once the paper has been removed.
However, if that isn’t the case – you can either give it a tap on the edge of the counter OR take the end of a blunt object like a wooden spoon or the handle of a butter knife and use it to add a little pressure to the tube.
This is usually all it needs to pop the tube open and you can then arrange the rolls in your casserole dish.
How to Make TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
- Remove the cinnamon rolls from the package and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the heavy cream around and over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.
- Frost with the packaged icing.
- Serve warm.
What about the pecan glaze?
The pecan glaze is completely optional. For this round we tried it without but then made them again with the glaze.
When you add the glaze it makes them more like a sticky bun vs a cinnamon roll. Both are insanely delicious and I wouldn’t turn either of them down. It just depends on what you are craving at the time.
How to Make the Pecan Glaze
To make the pecan glaze – just combine 1 cup of brown sugar with a 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans in a skillet. Heat over medium-low until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
You should have a caramel-like syrup with pecans mixed in. Pour that mixture over the top of the rolls before baking but after you have added the heavy cream. Bake as directed.
What to Pair with Cinnamon Rolls
There are a few things that go really well with cinnamon rolls, and here are a few of our favorites:
Who invented this Tiktok cinnamon roll recipe?
So – this recipe is adapted from saw @mississippi_kween but there are a few others that have been sharing similar hacks. As with most recipes, it is really hard to know for sure who was THE FIRST.
Do I have to use the Pillsbury brand?
No – you can use any brand of refrigerated, canned cinnamon rolls you can find. This should work with all of them out there. The only thing you need to watch is which size you are buying since that will change the baking time.
