Oreo Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Oreo Cinnamon Roll Filling:
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
- 2 tablespoons black cocoa (12g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (3g)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (56g)
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (50g)
For the Oreo Cinnamon Roll Dough:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus up to 1/2 cup additional flour if needed (440g-500g)
- 2 teaspoons or 1 packet instant dry yeast (7g, 1/4 oz.)
- 1 teaspoon salt (6g)
- 1 cup whole milk (240g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (56g)
- 1 large egg, room temperature (56g)
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (50g)
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature (8g)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (188g)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (30g)
- 1 teaspoon artificial vanilla extract (4g)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the light brown sugar, black cocoa, and cinnamon. Set aside for later use.
- Prepare the Dough: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (95°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl or microwave-safe container, gently warm the milk, sugar, and butter just until the butter melts and the mixture is warm. Mix the warm ingredients into the flour mixture, then add the egg. Stir until a dough forms, gradually adding more flour if the mixture is too sticky. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to rest under a cover of plastic wrap for 10 minutes.
- Shape the Rolls: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the prepared filling and additional crushed Oreos on top. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 9 rolls. Place these rolls in a greased baking pan.
- First Rise: Put the pan with the rolls into the turned-off oven, letting them rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the rolls for 26-30 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and golden.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly after baking. Drizzle them generously with the vanilla glaze, and if desired, garnish with additional crushed Oreos.
