Why You’ll LOVE This Recipe!

Must I entice you further than the name!?

These cinnamon rolls are incredibly indulgent. There is Oreo flavor Justin gin every bite. There are crushed Oreos in the dough, Oreo pieces in the filling, and Oreo Stuf in the icing!

Ingredients

You’ll need quite a few of your pantry staples for these Cinnamon Rolls with Oreos but you’ll also need a few more special items. You may not have Double-Stuf Oreos, cream cheese, instant rise yeast, or bread flour on hand. Be sure you have them before starting. They are vital!

You can use regular Oreos if you’d like, but I prefer the Double-Stuf Oreos simply because you get extra Stuf!

Additionally, you won’t get anywhere without yeast! Did you know you can buy yeast in larger quantities, store it in the freezer, and it will still be ‘alive’ and work!? It’s a great way to ensure you have yeast on hand that hasn’t gone ‘dead’.

Picking the Right Container

Some prefer a circular pie pan and others prefer 9×13 dishes. Really, the dish won’t make too much of a difference.

What you really need to consider is the size. If you want a cinnamon that reaches its full potential, use a container or two that allows about 1/4-1/2 inch of space surrounding each cinnamon roll. This gives it room to rise.

This recipe can fit into a single 9×13 dish, but it is tight. That means the dough may not have the space to rise. That isn’t bad, just most people prefer the largest cinnamon rolls they can get!

While testing this recipe, I placed one roll in its own dish to see how large it can get. And it can GROW! So, if you are wanting large cinnamon rolls be sure to allow at least a few inches of space between rolls.

Making The Cinnamon Rolls with Oreos

Making these Cinnamon Rolls with Oreos takes some time, but trust me- it’s worth it! In the recipe card below, I will walk you through the steps to ensure they turn out great, no matter your experience in the kitchen!

Before you get there, here are some key steps. I believe seeing what I should also be having while cooking a new recipe gives me confidence I’m on the right path, so I hope these do the same for you.

You will be activating your yeast with some sugar and milk. The above left image showcases what it will look like if the yeast are viable.

Then, if you have good yeast, you can go ahead and plop the necessary ingredients in. It may seem strange, but it’s correct!

Once you have your ingredients mixed together well, your dough will look like the above left. Now, you will be covering this with a kitchen towel and allowing it to rise for at least an hour.

The above left image shows the thickness to roll your cinnamon roll dough into.

Then, after adding the filling (above two images on the right), you can roll it up and slice the log into smaller pieces as shown in the above right.

Expert Tips and Tricks

• Try to clean as you go. You’ll be going through many dished making this recipe. To avoid an overwhelming kitchen at the end use the ‘rise’ time to clean up as much as you can!
• Use fresh Oreos. It may be tempting to use up Oreos that may be a bit stale (if they last that long in your house!)- don’t! The stale taste may come through, even covered in sweet icing!
• Continuously wash your hands. You’ll need to use your hands many times to press the dough. You’ll want fresh hands when working on each step!
• If you don’t have a rolling pin, like me, use a wine bottle! This works just as well! Just be sure you clean it well before and after use.
• I don’t include vanilla extract in the icing. It is very flavorful with the cream cheese, Stuf, and powdered sugar on their own but feel free to add a tablespoon if you prefer!
