Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), filling your kitchen with that warm anticipation of something delicious on the way.
- Grease a baking dish generously or line it with parchment paper for easy clean-up and to ensure those sweet rolls come out perfectly.
- Gently tear the Hawaiian sweet rolls apart and place them snugly in the prepared baking dish, allowing them to sit close together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the mixture is well combined and forms a delectable syrup.
- Pour this rich mixture evenly over the rolls, making sure every inch is coated in that gooey goodness.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have risen and turned a beautiful golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Once the rolls are finished baking, allow them to cool for a few moments before drizzling the luscious glaze generously over the tops. Each roll deserves a sweet kiss of frosting!
Notes or Tips
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins into the filling before baking. If you’d like a cream cheese glaze, simply swap the powdered sugar with cream cheese for a tangy delight. These rolls are best enjoyed warm, but they also keep well in an airtight container for a day or two—if they last that long!

Making cinnamon rolls with Hawaiian sweet rolls is a fantastic shortcut, as they require no kneading or rising time. Just tear, mix, bake, and glaze! The sweet rolls bring a unique softness and flavor that enhances the traditional cinnamon roll experience.
