Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe (2024)

A unique twist on a breakfast favorite! This flavorful Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe is a must bake. Everyone will want the recipe!

The best Saturday mornings are the ones that start with the smell of cinnamon floating through the house. At least, in my opinion. It always makes getting out of bed a little easier. Today, I made a twist on the traditional Cinnamon Rolls, and I am so glad I took the time to experiment. These Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls have left me speechless in a good way.

They did not come out of a can that I had to whack on the counter and took me a little time. I made a bit of a mess in my kitchen, but it isn’t a good recipe if you don’t make a mess. Right?!

Start to finish these took me about an hour and a half, which isn’t bad for homemade cinnamon rolls. Plus the gooey strawberries oozing out from the center will not only make your taste buds sing but make these rolls look spectacular.

How to Make Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

You start making these Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls by putting 3/4 cup of milk on the stove on medium heat. Once it gets warm, we are going to melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in there.

I used almond milk and butter-flavored Crisco, so these would be dairy-free.

In a large bowl, you are going to mix 2 1/2 cups flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Once mixed you are going to stir in 1 egg and 1/4 cup water. Then you will stir in the warm milk/butter mixture until a dough forms.

At this point, you are looking at a bowl of dough goo and saying to yourself, “Amanda, what did you get me into?” It is ok. Promise! Now you are going to mix in another cup of flour. 🙂

See! It turns out perfect. They flip your dough out onto a lightly floured surface and kneaduntilsmooth. Kneading only takes a fewminutesand is ideal for those arm muscles! Work out and cinnamon rolls at the same time. YEP, genius!

Pop the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a moist towel. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Turn your dough back out onto the floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle. This rolling pin is amazing for this! Sorry, my rectangle looks more like an oval. As you can tell, this isn’t an exact science.

Now we are going to spread strawberry jam over the entire thing. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and the chopped strawberries evenly over the top. We are going to roll this up starting with the longest side. I just realized out of the gazillion pictures I took; I forgot to take a picture of the roll of dough. Y’all get the idea, though. You are then going to slice the roll into 12 equal pieces. They should be about 1 1/2 inch thick slices.

Then you are going to place all 12 rolls into a greased 11×13 baking dish. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest and rise for about 30 minutes. While you are waiting, you can preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pop these into the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

When the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are done baking, drizzle the top of the dough with glaze. Mmm…..

Dairy Free

If you have an allergy or an intolerance you can make these delicious rolls dairy free. Simply substitute your favorite dairy free milk (canned coconut milk works amazingly). You will also substitute a dairy free margarine.

Freezing

Before baking, you can cover your pan with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking. This is a great tip if you are trying to prep ahead for a busy day or holiday.

You can even wrap them tighter with some foil and freeze until ready to bake. When ready, remove them from the freezer and allow them to thaw. Then bake according to the recipe.

Storing

Store any uneaten Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
