I’ve been craving myself a cinnamon roll for some time now. I dream of those puffy cinnamon sugar-swirled pastries with frosting oozing down onto my fingers. Paired with a cup of warm tea, that is the epitome of a perfect Saturday morning.

The unwanted sugar rush and guilt of eating the entire pan are something I’m all too familiar with–no self-control.

These past few weeks, between the thin mint cookies, double chocolate chip cookies, and tagalong cookies,it is pretty evident that I have no self-control.

My name is Lindsay, and I have no self-control with sweet treats.

Our Cinnamon Roll Frosting on our Oat Breakfast Bars

My mother would make this frosting growing up, and it’s easily seen as a family recipe you must master. There was no need to twist our arms when teaching my sister and me how to make it. What 10 year old doesn’t want to learn how to make frosting?

Having the option to make frosting at any time? Uhhh yeah, count me in on that.

This family frosting recipe has been around for many, many years. I felt a little guilty at first attempting to skinny-fy the recipe, but as soon as I ate a big spoonful of it the guilt quickly went away.

Spreading this heavenly frosting on top of the soft, puffy cinnamon heaven oatmeal bars reminded me of Saturday mornings when I was growing up.

Cinnamon rolls every Saturday was a tradition growing up, which subsequently became a weekend tradition after leaving the house. Without a doubt, it remains the absolutely perfect way to kick off the weekend.

Since going gluten-free, I’ve been lacking this tradition for a couple of years, but no worries now with this no yeastgluten-free cinnamon rolls.

These Cinnamon Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are a healthier, gluten-free substitute to fit perfectly into my future Saturday morning tradition.

If you are lacking a Saturday morning tradition, have no fear, Cinnamon Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are here! What do you have planned for your Saturday morning? Making these babies, of course. We’ll be breakfast buddies, because I will be making them, too!
