Overnight Cinnamon Roll Recipe!

There is just something about biting into a warm overnight cinnamon roll loaded with frosting. And this cinnamon roll recipe is just that! These cinnamon rolls have been requested at many family and friend parties. Whenever I get invited to attend a party or something usually my friends husband’s request that I bring them.  I have been asked time and time again for me to make these for other people family gatherings or holidays. This recipe is just that good! I love to make them before I go to bed and then wake up and bake them. The best part is that my family gets to wake up to the smell of cinnamon rolls in the oven. What is better than that!

With father’s day right around the corner this recipe is just perfect for that. You can make them the night before and then wake up a little early and pop them in the oven and surprise your dad or the father of your children with a little breakfast in bed with these warm cinnamon rolls right out of the oven!
