Ultra-Flaky Cinnamon Roll Sheet Pan Bake

  • Author: SOFIA
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

An easy, zero-knead cinnamon roll bake made with refrigerated biscuit dough for maximum flakiness. This sheet pan dessert is perfect for weekend brunch, feeds a crowd, and can be made ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (1 can) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 oz (113g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Open the biscuit dough and press each round flat into thin discs.
  3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until it resembles wet sand.
  4. Arrange the flattened biscuit discs in the prepared baking dish, leaving slight gaps between them.
  5. Brush the top of each biscuit generously with the butter-sugar mixture, drizzling any excess into the gaps.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown and edges are bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. While baking, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in milk or cream one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is thick but pourable.
  8. Remove bake from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes until warm to the touch.
  9. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm bake and spread into the gaps with a spatula.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

For maximum flakiness, do not press the biscuits too flat; give them a gentle lift to create separation. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the glaze. If making ahead, assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if baking from cold. The glaze does not freeze well; make fresh when serving.
