Instructions:
Step 1: Dough Delight Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Rolling Revelry On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 15×9 inches. Spread the softened butter over the surface, leaving a small border along the edges.
Step 3: Cinnamon Symphony In a bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling. Sprinkle this heavenly mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring an even distribution of cinnamon goodness.
Step 4: Rolling Rapture Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Seal the edges by pinching the seam. With the seam side down, slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Step 5: Baking Beauty Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Step 6: Glazing Glory Once out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Allow them to cool slightly before indulging in the gooey, cinnamon-infused delight.
Cook Notes:
- Ensure the dough is rolled tightly for maximum swirls.
- For a shortcut, consider using a stand mixer with a dough hook for mixing the dough.

Nutty Nirvana: Sprinkle chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, over the cinnamon filling for an added crunch. Nut lovers will appreciate the textural contrast.
Fruity Fusion: Incorporate raisins or diced apples into the cinnamon filling for a fruity twist. This variation adds a burst of sweetness and chewiness.

Use almond or coconut milk instead of regular milk. Opt for a keto-friendly glaze or omit it altogether. This version caters to keto dietary guidelines without sacrificing the comforting essence of cinnamon rolls.
Low-Carb Version: Navigate the low-carb route by using a low-carb baking mix in place of Bisquick. Substitute granulated sugar with a low-carb sweetener in both the dough and the cinnamon filling.
