Best Cinnamon Rolls

Best Cinnamon Rolls

This potluck standout is a Minnesota reader's favorite recipe -- and we love it, too. It made our list of Midwest Living® 20 best recipes of all time. We chose this recipe because it offers two great versions: one is a more traditional roll with added moistness from the vanilla cake mix, and the other is a chocolate-coconut recipe with a caramel topper.

Jumbo Coffee Cake Muffins

Muffins are quick-and-easy cornerstones of weekend breakfasts. Moist and cinnamony, these big muffins will become one of your family's favorites.

Maple Butter Twists

These breakfast rolls are a family tradition with Jean Haviland of Carroll, Iowa. "They're great for breakfast or any time of day!" she says.

Almond-Cranberry Bread with White Chocolate Glaze

Sweet bread balances tangy cranberries in this winning recipe from the 2009 Wisconsin State Fair. Wrap and store it overnight to make it easier to slice and less crumbly.

Honey-Glazed Buttermilk Oatmeal Coffee Cake

We developed this coffee cake to celebrate the flavors of North Dakota. The Peace Garden State produces almost 20 percent of U.S. honey -- and it's also a big oat producer.

Creamy Butter-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

We can't resist a good sticky roll -- especially one this easy to make. Starting with frozen bread dough, we added brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and chocolate chips. When you turn it out, it makes its own gooey topping.

Sour Cream Swirl Coffee Cake

A layer of brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans swirls through the center of this sour cream coffee cake from the Lantz House Inn in Centerville, Indiana.

Cran-Banana Bread

Blend mashed bananas with a box of cranberry quick-bread mix for this easy-to-make, double-fruit treat.

Anita's Cranberry Scones

Coarsely chopped cranberries spread the sweet-tart flavor throughout this tender scone, a winner at the Warrens Cranberry Festival recipe competition. A sweet almond frosting complements the berries.

Zippy Cinnamon Rolls

A Midwest Living® editor contributed the recipe for these gooey-good, easy-to-make rolls that combine frozen bread dough and pudding mix.

Double-Chocolate Scones

These scones were created for the Chocolate March, an annual springtime event in Hudson, Wisconsin. Cocoa powder, whipping cream and semisweet chocolate pieces make them extra-rich and chocolatey.

Maple Oatmeal Muffins

You can taste the maple sweetness in these oatmeal muffins from Indiana's Hoosier Maple Syrup Cookbook. Cinnamon and pecans give the breakfast or snack bread even more flavor.

Cardamom Wreath Bread

This sweet yeast bread works for brunch or dessert and makes a beautiful accent to your spread.

Another cardamom-flavored treat is Apricot-Oat Coffee Cake. Dried apricots or dried cherries replace the chopped or canned fruit often used in traditional coffee cake recipes.

Apple Cake

This tender apple cake is among the baked goods served at Broadway Cafe in Kansas City, Missouri. A generous portion of chopped Granny Smith apples adds flavor and moistness.

Chocolate-Pecan Coffee Cake

We put together our favorite coffee cake ingredients for this recipe: chocolate, butter, sour cream, pecans and coconut. It's a holiday favorite, but it's also good any time of the year.

Muffins to savor

Muffins were meant to enjoy along with a cup of morning coffee. Here are two of our own creations. Cream cheese, semisweet chocolate pieces and cocoa powder flavor our Fudge Brownie Cheesecake Muffins, while a dab of lemon curd gives a burst of citrus to Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.

Maple Date Nut Bread

Chopped and pitted dates stand out beside the hint of maple syrup in this dark brown, nutty, quick bread. This recipe is from Ruth Smiley of Smiley Brothers maple syrup producers in Indiana.

Orange-Honey Sweet Rolls

Jean Hixson, a volunteer "Speak for Wheat" spokesperson from the Kansas Wheat Commission, shared her recipe for these sweet yeast rolls.

Lemon-Blueberry Biscuits

These lemon-glazed biscuits will bring a taste of spring and summer to your house. Use frozen blueberries when fresh ones aren't available.

Delice Scones

At Delice European Bakery and Coffee Bar in Omaha, Pastry Chef Heidi Schlict tempts customers with scones. "These scones are very versatile," Heidi says. "They are a great addition to any breakfast table, brunch or tea."

Mary Todd Lincoln's Cinnamon Cake

This orange-glazed coffee cake is said to be one of the favorites of Abraham Lincoln.

Raspberry and Cream Cheese Cake

A cheesecake-like topping and fresh raspberries make this low-fat coffee cake sensational.

Chocolate-Kissed Monkey Bread

Caramel, chocolate and cinnamon give this monkey bread a delicious flavor. Be sure to get the large flaky biscuits for easy shaping.

Apple Scones with Spiced Maple Butter

They're light, buttery and artwork on your plate. We almost hate to cover up the baked-on apple slice with the whipped maple butter. Almost.

Maple Sweet Potato Sticky Buns

Traditional sticky buns not quite sweet enough for you? Add sweet potato, maple syrup and syrupy pecans. How about now?
