No Rise Cinnamon Rolls

No Rise Cinnamon Rolls are easy because they are made with baking powder instead of yeast.  This is also a healthier version because I use oats and almonds to dress them.  I also tried to cut down on butter, although it is a must for flavour.  When my children were young they would devour a batch of these as soon as I took them out of the oven.  Cooking brings back memories and my kitchen holds many of them.

I love the smell of cinnamon in the house.  I use it in both sweet and savoury recipes.  Need a savoury dish tonight, try my : https://recipesatmytable.com/cinnamon-peach-chicken/

This is an old recipe that I have in my family cookbook, but it never fails to please.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 a cup icing sugar plus 1 tbsp water for icing

Process

Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a food processor and pulse.  Mix the MILK and egg together and add to the dry ingredients and pulse about 5 times.  Next pour in the melted butter.  Pulse on low until it all comes together.

Place some parchment paper on the counter and place the mixture on it.  Use your hands to make a circle and pat it down.

Use a rolling pin to make a rectangle and it won’t be perfect.

Next mist the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Melt the 1/4 cup of butter and baste the dough.

Spread the sugar mixture and then place the 1/4 cup of slivered almonds down the centre.

Now take the end closest to you and start to roll.  I let the parchment paper help me.

Next, take a sharp knife and cut the dough in half and then into eight pieces.  It should yield 16 large rolls.

Place them in a 9 X 13 ungreased pan.

Brush the tops with a bit more of the melted butter and place in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes.

Two on a plate for me.
