Oreo Cinnamon Rolls
These Oreo cinnamon rolls are super soft rolls that are filled with a chocolate Oreo filling, crushed Oreo cookies, and topped with a creamy cream cheese icing!
Equipment
- 9x13 Glass Baking Pan
- Electric Stand Mixer
- Rolling Pin
- Offset Spatula
Ingredients:
Dough
- 1 cup Lifeway Kefir Organic Vanilla Whole Milk, warmed to 110°F
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 packets active rise yeast (4 ½ teaspoons)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature & beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Oreo crumbs (8 cookies)
Oreo Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon black cocoa powder (or regular)
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cup crushed Oreo pieces (10 cookies)
Cream Cheese Icing
- 3 ounces block-style cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lifeway Kefir Organic Vanilla Whole Milk
- ⅓ cup Oreo crumbs (6 cookies)
Instructions:
Dough
- In a microwaveable-safe bowl, heat the Lifeway Kefir Organic Vanilla Whole Milk and cubed butter for 30-40 seconds, or until around 110°F. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix in the yeast, sugar, beaten eggs, and salt with a fork or whisk.
- Using the dough hook attachment, add in the flour and mix on low speed until the dough starts to form. Once formed, add the Oreo crumbs and increase the speed to medium and knead until the dough is soft and slightly tacky (2-3 minutes). If the dough sticks to your fingers when trying to remove it, mix in 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until it doesn't.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and once preheated turn it off, place the bowl in the oven and keep the door slightly open. Allow the dough to rise in that warm space for 1 hour.*If you can't do this in your oven, let the dough rise on the counter.
Oreo Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon on high speed until completely combined. Set aside.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to ¼ inch thick and into a rectangle. Use a rubber or offset spatula to spread the Oreo filling all over the dough. Then sprinkle on the crushed Oreo pieces.
- Starting on the long end, roll the dough up as tightly as you can into a log shape. Use a serrated knife and cut off the uneven ends. Then cut the log into 15 rolls (about 1 inch wide).
- Spray a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick spray and place the rolls inside of it. Cover with a towel and rise for 25 minutes on the counter.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown on top and the center of the rolls are cooked through.
Cream Cheese Icing
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on high speed until combined and creamy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Lifeway Kefir Organic Vanilla Whole Milk and beat on low speed for about 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the icing over the hot cinnamon rolls and sprinkle on more Oreo crumbs. Serve immediately.
- Keep any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes:
Baking Pan: These rolls are baked in a 9x13-inch baking dish. I used a glass pan.
Measuring Flour: To help ensure you don’t add extra flour, follow these three simple steps: 1) Fluff up the flour using a fork. 2) Spoon the flour into your measuring cup. 3) Scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level out the flour.
Rising Method: If possible, I recommend the first rise to happen in the oven. If you can't, then the dough can rise on the counter. I prefer the oven method when I can.
Oreos: Pay attention to the recipe when it says whether you need Oreo crumbs or crushed Oreos.
Glaze: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, spread the icing over the top. Then sprinkle on the Oreo crumbs.
