Oatmeal Cinnamon Rolls

-
Fresh from the oven - delicious!


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

These are easy and I like the addition of oatmeal in there. Seems less horrid then just a whole bunch of white flour. They are of course best when they are warm from the oven, but heat up nicely in the microwave. All but one of us like the Caramel Icing. He prefers Cream Cheese Icing and that is really good too. I don't have step by step photos because of camera issues but like I always say, anyone that can read can follow a simple recipe. The pictures are just there to make it more interesting.☺ So without further ado here it is.

2 Tablespoons Instant yeast
¼ cup warm water
1 cup milk, scalded
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4½ cups all purpose flour, divided
2 eggs
1 cup quick oats
1/3 cup butter, melted

Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside.

In a small bowl combine sugar and salt, pour scalded milk over this and stir to dissolve sugar.

Add 1 cup flour to sugar mixture and stir until smooth.

Beat the eggs and add them to the yeast mixture along with the oatmeal. Stir to combine.

Combine both the sugar and yeast mixtures in a mixer (or you can do it by hand) and with the dough hook add enough flour to make a soft dough.

Add the melted butter last. This seemed strange to me but it worked. It was kinda messy and I had to finish the kneading (10 minutes) by hand. The end result was a very soft dough.

Cover and let rise till double (about 45 minutes). Punch down and let rise for another 10 minutes.

Divide into 3 equal parts into a ½ inch thick rectangle. Spray lightly with olive oil and spread with filling.

Filling:
½ cup white sugar
½ brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Roll up and cut into 1 inch rounds. Arrange in a greased pan (I used a 9x13 and a 9 inch round pan).

Cover and let rise again until doubled.

Bake at 375° 15-18 minutes or until golden.

Allow to cool slightly before icing with Caramel Icing. If using Cream Cheese Icing I let them cool a little longer before putting it on.

Brown Sugar or Caramel Icing
½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup evaporated or regular milk
¾-1 cup powdered sugar

Heat butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until melted.

Add salt and milk and bring to a boil.

Boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and cool.

Add powdered sugar and stir till smooth. It's easy to add too much powdered sugar because the icing is warm. For sure don't add more then a cup because once it cools completey it will crumble if there is too much in there.


Be Blessed!

    I love the idea of adding oats in the mix. It makes cinnamon rolls seem somewhat healthy. ;-)

    I co-host a weekly Friday Food Fight and I would love for you to link up and share your cinnamon roll recipe. I hope to see you in the ring!

    MMmmm! My favorite homemade bread recipe has oatmeal in it. I'll have to try it in cinnamon rolls too but maybe NOT on a day when it's already 90 degrees in my kitchen.

    This is the first cinnamon roll recipe I have ever seen that has oats in it!! I love oats in cookies, so why not in cinnamon rolls? I love cream cheese icing too, but this caramel one sure does sound yummy!

    Yummy! I'll take one with caramel and one with cream cheese icing, please. Your recipes make me (the NON-cook) want to run to the kitchen and cook something fabulous. Well...almost. ;)

    2 T of instant yeast is equal to how much active dry yeast? I don't have any instant yeast, but have active dry yeast on hand. Thanks for letting me know.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
