The best homemade cinnamon rolls ever! If you love gooey cinnamon buns, here’s the secret ingredient. Everyone raves about these homemade yeast rolls.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (about 115 degrees F)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast* (I like Red Star Platinum Baking Yeast)
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/3 cup salted butter** (Melted, but make sure it isn’t over 110º Fahrenheit. Just softened is fine.)

For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup salted butter (almost melted)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar

For the Frosting:
- 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)

- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon maple extract (or vanilla)
