Cinnamon Rolls are a staple at our house! We make them for Christmas breakfast, birthdays, tailgating, and even when we need some really good comfort food. My family can eat an entire pan in one day… we absolutely love them!

I recently tried the viral cinnamon roll hack where you use refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and add a few things to make them more homemade. (If you haven’t tried them, they’re amazing!)

After making them a few times over the holidays, I thought, “I bet this would work for orange rolls, too!”

And so is born this easy orange rolls recipe. The orange flavor is both citrusy and sweet, and the entire process is straightforward and easy to follow. Here’s how to make orange cinnamon rolls –
