Enjoy these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups, featuring soft bread filled with a creamy, sweet mixture and coated in a delicious cinnamon-sugar blend. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, they are easy to make and sure to delight!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
  2. Taste the filling and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or cinnamon according to your preference.
  3. Once the filling is well combined, set it aside to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the bread.
  4. Take the slices of bread and remove the crusts using a sharp knife.
  5. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread.
  6. Once all the slices are flattened, lay them out on a clean surface or a large cutting board.
  7. Take a spoonful of the cream cheese filling and spread it evenly over one side of a flattened bread slice.
  8. Starting from one end, carefully roll the bread slice tightly around the filling.
  9. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices and cream cheese filling until all the roll-ups are assembled.
  10. Once all the roll-ups are made, place them seam-side down on a plate or baking sheet.
  11. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using). Mix well.
  12. In another bowl, pour the melted butter.
  13. Take each roll-up and dip it into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated.
  14. Next, roll the butter-coated roll-up in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it is fully covered.
  15. Repeat this process for all the roll-ups.
  16. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  17. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  18. Arrange the coated roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll-up.
  19. Once the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  20. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
  21. Once baked, remove the roll-ups from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
  22. While they are cooling, prepare a dusting of powdered sugar.
  23. Serve the cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups warm, and enjoy them as a delightful breakfast or snack!
