I really love cinnamon rolls, although they always remind me of Christmas. Since the filling is all about building flavour, you can add some chocolate chips, pudding, raisins or caramelized nuts depending on your taste. The base of most fillings is butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. Cinnamon rolls are the perfect treat for breakfast or brunch.
