How to Make Cinnamon Roll Loaf
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan. Place one roll of cinnamon rolls on the side and the other roll right next to it.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 25–30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool slightly, then drizzle with the icing packet and serve warm.
