Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Extra honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the roll-ups don’t stick and bake evenly.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to form the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Flatten Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice until it’s thin enough to roll easily but not torn.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each flattened bread slice, then roll each slice up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Brush each roll-up with the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for a sweet, crispy crust.
- Bake: Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly after baking, then drizzle extra honey over the top before serving to enhance their sweetness.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, use bread that is slightly stale as it holds up better during rolling and baking.
- You can substitute the cream cheese with whipped ricotta or mascarpone for a different but equally creamy flavor profile.
- These roll-ups are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
