This Baked Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups recipe is a simple process that yields an amazing churro-like breakfast treat. 20 minutes in the oven (if you can wait that long) to dig in to these!
Can you believe I actually had to convince my children to try these? They’re deeply suspicious of all new foods (ugh), and were skeptical when I said brightly “they’re really good!! Try one!”.
I think they’re onto me, because I also said that about asparagus a few weeks ago, and they did try it. And hated it.
I guess I kind of deserved that one.
Anyway – the cinnamon-y deliciousness of these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups hit their nostrils, and they deigned to taste it. Naturally, their mother was right (as always – we’ll forget about the asparagus incident).

I SO wish I had:
- made more; or
- not told them they were good
There was none left!! Little boys who decide they like something are really committed to finishing entire plates of things… Which, when it’s this kind of thing… is a crying shame because there’s much less left for me!
Thankfully, they’re super easy to make, so I can whip up a batch any time I like. You can actually make these ahead, though (see below)
So, what in them, then?
Glad you asked. I really am. It’s SO easy!!
Just some cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar, bread (with the crusts removed), melted butter and cinnamon sugar. That’s it!

How about a variation?
Cooked apples, diced small are awesome inside these, or maybe Raspberries, Blueberries, Nutella. Even peaches!
Can I make these ahead?
Actually, yes. I made these again, baked them – and then let them cool. They were great reheated in the oven – only took 5 minutes.
Want more breakfast ideas? Of course you do!

This was very delicious. I decided to try out some Cream Cheese desserts out of curiosity because I have a small hobby of baking. I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try. All I can say is that my siblings and mother devoured them all. I will definitely make this again
Lindsey says
OMG <3 These are soooo good, I get all kinds of complements, and each person is shocked that the dough is sliced bread 🙂 Would it be possible if I made these ahead of time and froze them that they would thaw to be ok?
Kylee says
Yes. You will have to cook longer from frozen and they may not brown as much, but they will still taste good!

Thank you for this wonderfully easy and delicious recipe!
I made these as a dessert for us and we devoured them!
Now, I am experimenting with this idea as a non-dessert. Instead of sugar and cinnamon, I am using garlic and onion inside the cream cheese mix. And the outside bread with a little Italian seasoning a a splash of garlic. Their not done yet. Wish me luck.

This recipe was absolutely amazing. I made it for my mothers birthday as a treat and they tasted so good that people kept asking where I got them!
Jennifer says
Absolutely delicious!! For personal preference I only lightly rolled them in butter, and lightly rolled them in sugar-pumpkin pie spice. I was out of cinnamon but the pie spice was fantastic. I don’t think I spread the cream cheese too thick, but it only made 7. I used a regular loaf of 100% whole wheat bread. They cooked perfectly crispy in a glass pie dish. I could have easily eaten all of them by myself!!
