Cinnamon Rolls definitely had their moment this year, and for good reason! They are the perfect combination of soft and chew, and nothing beats the childhood nostalgia.
This recipe was a suggestion from Lauren from the INKA team. She says, "While in quarantine, my roommates and I took the time to bake all of our favorite things, and homemade cinnamon buns were a no brainer for me. They are a lot of work, but a great way to spend time together and bake something delicious."
