Super Quick Cinnamon & Spice Breakfast Rolls

Once I got home from Columbus, it took me a few weeks to adjust to eating normal amounts of food. In the meanwhile I decided I needed to make some cinnamon rolls, inspired by Omega Artisan Bakery. Of course, normal cinnamon rolls are a bit time consuming because you have to wait for them to rise with yeast. So I adapted a recipe using baking powder and baking soda. Way easier and much faster. Don’t expect these cinnamon rolls to be the same as a regular yeast-risen cinnamon roll, these are closer to a biscuit in texture. That said, they have their own unique appeal, and the additional spices add a nice layer of complexity and depth cutting the sweetness of rolls.
