Ingredients List

Gather these simple yet essential ingredients to whip up your strawberry cinnamon rolls:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour: This is the base for your dough, giving it structure.
  • 1/4 cup sugar: Adds sweetness to the dough, balancing the cinnamon.
  • 1/2 cup milk: This helps to keep the rolls moist and tender.
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted: For richness and flavor—don’t skimp on this one!
  • 1 egg: Binds the ingredients together and adds a lovely texture.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder: Essential for that fluffy rise.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon: The warm spice that makes these rolls so comforting.
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped: Fresh and juicy strawberry goodness—use the ripest you can find!
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese: For the luscious glaze that takes these rolls over the top.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese for a perfect finishing touch.

How to Prepare Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

Let’s dive into the fun part—making these scrumptious strawberry cinnamon rolls! They’re surprisingly simple to prepare, and I promise you’ll feel like a baking superstar when they come out of the oven. Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is key to getting those rolls perfectly baked and golden brown.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Give it a good stir to mix everything together.
  3. Now, pour in 1/2 cup of milk, add 1/4 cup of melted butter, and crack in 1 egg. Stir until all the ingredients come together into a soft dough. It might be a bit sticky, but that’s okay!
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently for about 2-3 minutes until it’s smooth. Don’t overdo it—just enough to bring it together.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure it’s even so all your rolls bake nicely.
  6. Spread the chopped strawberries evenly on top of the dough. The more strawberries, the better!
  7. Now, here’s the fun part: roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, sealing in those juicy strawberries.
  8. Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces. You should have about 12 rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one for rising.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden brown and your kitchen smells divine. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re puffed up and lightly browned.
  10. While they’re baking, mix together 1/2 cup cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this delightful glaze over the warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven. Wow—just wow!

Tips for Success

To make your strawberry cinnamon rolls truly shine, here are some pro tips I swear by:

  • Fresh Strawberries: Always use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries can be mushy, so stick with fresh if you can!
  • Adjust the Sweetness: Feel free to tweak the sugar levels in the dough or glaze based on your taste. If you love it sweeter, go for it!
  • Don’t Over-Knead: A gentle knead is all you need. Overworking the dough can make your rolls tough.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on them as they bake; ovens can vary! You want that golden brown perfection.
  • Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. The warm glaze melts beautifully into the rolls!

Nutritional Information

Let’s talk numbers! Each strawberry cinnamon roll is estimated to contain about 250 calories, with 10g of fat, 4g of protein, and 36g of carbohydrates. Keep in mind, these values are just estimates and can vary based on ingredient brands and exact measurements. But hey, who’s counting when they taste this good? Enjoy every delicious bite without guilt!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare, trust me!), you can store your strawberry cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, pop them in the fridge, where they’ll last about a week. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warm. You can also pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will help revive that delightful soft texture and warm, gooey goodness!
