Ingredients:
For the cinnamon rolls:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup milk, warm
1 large egg
For the filling:
8 Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces
½ cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add the melted butter, warm milk, and egg. Stir until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the crushed Oreos, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Set aside until ready to assemble.
Assemble the cinnamon rolls:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle the Oreo-cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
Cut the roll into 9-12 equal pieces (depending on your preference for size).
Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Second rise:
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the glaze:
While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Finish and serve:
Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Serve and enjoy!
Description:
These Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are a heavenly fusion of rich chocolate and cinnamon goodness. The combination of soft, pillowy cinnamon rolls with the crispy, chocolaty crunch of Oreos creates a mouthwatering treat that’s hard to resist. Topped with a sweet glaze, each bite is a delightful contrast of textures, making it the perfect breakfast or dessert.
Tips:
Fresh yeast: Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If the yeast doesn’t foam when mixed with warm water and sugar, it may be expired.
Dough rising: If your kitchen is cool, you can place the dough in an oven with the light on to create a warm environment for rising.
Crushing Oreos: You can crush the Oreos in a food processor for an even finer consistency or use a rolling pin to break them up in a zip-top bag.
Extra glaze: For a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk slightly or add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add a little more milk.
Variations:
Peanut Butter Oreo Rolls: Add a layer of peanut butter along with the Oreo mixture for a peanut butter-chocolate twist.
Nutty Crunch: Mix in some chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) with the Oreo filling for an extra crunch.
Chocolate Drizzle: For an even richer treat, drizzle melted chocolate over the rolls after glazing them.
Corrections:
If the dough feels too sticky while kneading, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Ensure you don’t overbake the rolls; they should be golden brown but soft and fluffy inside.
Enjoy:
These Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, with a warm, gooey center and the irresistible combination of Oreo and cinnamon flavors. Perfect for a weekend treat or when you want to make breakfast extra special!
