Description
Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, utilizing the soft and slightly sweet King’s Hawaiian rolls as a base. This quick and easy recipe combines the rich flavors of cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, topped with a sweet glaze, making it a perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
– 1 package (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 3/4 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as one piece. Place the bottom half in the greased baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
4. Spread half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Place the top half of the rolls over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
5. Spread the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the rolls.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
– For an extra indulgent treat, add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon-sugar filling.
– If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk to achieve desired consistency.
– These rolls are best served warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
