Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are the ultimate sweet treat that combines the gooey goodness of cinnamon rolls with the irresistible crunch and creaminess of Oreos. If you love both cinnamon rolls and Oreos, this recipe is for you! Here’s how to make these decadent, indulgent pastries:
Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients (Makes about 8-10 rolls):
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (or homemade dough if you prefer)
- 10-12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (for the frosting)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for the frosting)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for the frosting)
- 2-3 tbsp milk (for the frosting)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or round cake pan to prepare for the cinnamon rolls.
2. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and unroll the dough onto a clean surface.
- Gently stretch or roll out the dough to form a rectangle shape (about 9×12 inches).
3. Make the Oreo Filling:
- Crush the Oreo cookies into small pieces. You can do this by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin to crush them, or by pulsing them in a food processor.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
4. Assemble the Rolls:
- Spread the Oreo mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll up the dough from one of the long sides, rolling tightly to form a log.
- Slice the rolled dough into 8-10 equal pieces (depending on your preferred size).
5. Bake the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Place the sliced cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
6. Make the Frosting:
- While the rolls are baking, make the frosting by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if you want a thinner frosting.
7. Finish and Serve:
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls. For extra Oreo flavor, you can sprinkle some crushed Oreo pieces on top of the frosting.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the Oreo-stuffed cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy their gooey, creamy, and crunchy goodness!
Tips:
- Homemade Dough: If you prefer homemade dough, you can make your own cinnamon roll dough, but using store-bought dough is much quicker and still delicious.
- Extra Oreo Flavor: To make it extra indulgent, try adding a few Oreo crumbs into the frosting itself for more Oreo flavor throughout the rolls.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these the night before, cover the pan with plastic wrap, and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, just bake them for 20-25 minutes!
These Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combination of two classic treats, and they’re sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy them for breakfast, dessert, or anytime you want a little indulgence!
