August has been a month full of excitement. This is usually the get-together-with-friends-month!

We usually decide to have dinners together and go out for a whole day to a small town, somewhere around the area that we haven’t been to yet and we proceed to check out all the specialties of the place.

Last night for example was one of those days in which we got together here at our house and we cook, drink some wine, eat and laugh more than anything else.

As you can see this recipe has been updated!  This area of Italy is still as beautiful as it was back in August 31, 2014.

One of our friends is a very good cook, he started getting more and more interested in cooking  in the last few years and he has become the “sous chef” of the group.

So he was the one who volunteered in making dinner.

And I volunteered to make the dessert, because no meal is complete without a Delicious Sweet Ending right?

I decided to make these No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls, since no one had ever tried cinnamon buns before, I thought it would be the perfect quick and easy dessert to make.

And of course they are one of my favourites!

Who invented Cinnamon Rolls?

Cinnamon Rolls were apparently invented in Sweden. There is even a Cinnamon Roll National Holiday on October 9.

My mother used to make these almost every Friday night and they became one of our weekly food traditions!

But I consider these an easy substitute for a Cinnamon Bun without the yeast and no rising time needed!

And believe me you can never stop at one!  This time I decided to top them with a Maple Glaze.

The Italian loves these so much they are always gone the same day I make them.

These can also be made individually in a 12 medium size muffin pan.
