Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how this recipe turns a familiar favorite into a surprise-filled delight. The Oreo cookies add a fun texture and chocolate flavor that perfectly contrasts the soft, cinnamon-spiced dough. It’s an easy way to upgrade store-bought cinnamon rolls or elevate a homemade dough. These are great for brunch, dessert, or an indulgent snack—and they’re always a hit with kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Store-bought or homemade cinnamon roll dough
- Crushed Oreo cookies (I use about 1 to 2 cookies per roll)
- Ground cinnamon (if not already included in the dough)
- Brown sugar (optional, if you want extra gooeyness)
- Icing or glaze (usually included with store-bought rolls)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- If using store-bought rolls, unroll each one gently to expose the inner surface.
- Sprinkle crushed Oreos generously across the dough, pressing them slightly into the surface.
- Roll each cinnamon roll back up tightly, making sure the Oreos stay tucked inside.
- Place them into the prepared dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and cooked through.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and top with extra Oreo crumbs if desired.
Servings and timing
This recipe typically makes 8 cinnamon rolls and takes about 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake, so I can have them ready in about 30 minutes total.
Variations
- I sometimes mix crushed Oreos directly into the icing for an extra burst of cookie flavor.
- For a cookies-and-cream vibe, I add a layer of cream cheese frosting instead of the glaze.
- If I’m making them from scratch, I like to add mini chocolate chips or even Nutella along with the crushed Oreos.
- I’ve also tried using flavored Oreos (like peanut butter or mint) for a fun twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate them for up to 5 days. To reheat, I microwave one roll for about 15–20 seconds, or warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5–7 minutes to revive that soft texture.
FAQs
How do I keep the Oreos from getting soggy?
I press the crushed Oreos into the dough so they hold their texture better during baking. Using less moist fillings also helps.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I prepare them the night before, cover, and refrigerate them. In the morning, I bake them straight from the fridge—just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time.
Do I have to use store-bought dough?
Not at all. I love using homemade cinnamon roll dough when I have time—it gives a fluffier, richer result.
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?
Absolutely. I’ve used double-stuffed for extra filling, but they do make the rolls slightly gooier inside.
Can I freeze these?
Yes, I freeze them after baking and cooling. When I want one, I reheat it in the microwave or oven for a quick treat.
Conclusion
Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are an easy, irresistible treat that brings together two of my favorite indulgences. Whether I make them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, they never last long once they’re out of the oven. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, they’re a sweet upgrade I’ll keep coming back to.
