"Cinnamon rolls are the gloriously gooey treat that make breakfast feel like a special occasion. And while the namesake baking spice makes up a key aspect of their flavor profile, cinnamon rolls are highly customizable. We've come up with 18 unexpected fillings to add to your cinnamon rolls to take them to the next level. While some ingredients are seasonal products like cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie filling, peanut butter is the pantry staple that deserves to be wrapped up in your cinnamon rolls."
"You can incorporate peanut butter into every element of a cinnamon roll, especially the filling. Make a luxurious peanut butter filling by combining it with ground cinnamon and brown sugar into a paste that you'll spread over the dough. As it heats up, the peanut butter in the filling becomes ultra soft and creamy, adding to the glorious gooeyness of a cinnamon roll."
"For an even more decadent touch, you can also incorporate the butter into the bread itself by simply kneading into the fresh dough before proofing it. Once you roll it all up, slice it into individual rounds and bake. For the final touch, make a nutty frosting with peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Finish the cinnamon rolls with a sprinkling of chopped, roasted peanuts for a nice crunchy contrast."
Peanut butter adds rich, nutty creaminess and pairs well as both a filling and frosting component in cinnamon rolls. Combine peanut butter with ground cinnamon and brown sugar into a paste to spread over dough; heat softens the peanut butter, creating an ultra-soft, gooey filling. Kneading peanut butter into the dough before proofing enriches the bread. Top baked rolls with a frosting made of peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts for crunch. Use conventional no-stir peanut butter brands like Skippy or Jif to prevent oily separation; natural peanut butters may separate during baking.
