This Baked Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups recipe is a simple process that yields an amazing churro-like breakfast treat. Just 20 minutes in the oven!

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.

Anyway – the cinnamon-y deliciousness of these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups hit their nostrils, and they deigned to taste it.

I SO wish I had:

  1. made more; or
  2. 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…

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?

  • I think some cooked apples, diced small would be awesome inside these.
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Nutella

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!

  1. These certainly look scrumptiously unique! They do remind me a bit of cannoli recipe I just found.

    But I think your roll-ups are easier to make so I think I’m gonna try these first. And I love cinnamon, so double whammy for me. ^_^

    Thanks for the recipe!

  2. So I’ve made this with raspberry jam in addition to cream cheese on the inside. They did NOT come out as beautiful as these.

  5. These remind me of the churros that they serve at a restaurant down the street from me. The next time your kids don’t want to try something like this, just send me an email. You can send it to me. Yummy

  6. I wouldn’t want to share these either. My 2 year old has very few things she doesn’t like (she’ll go for the asparagus…weird kid), but she doesn’t like cinnamon sugar. Which really means…MORE FOR ME!!!

  12. Oh Kylee this recipe is easy and so fabulous!!! My kids are also suspicious of new foods – especially when I try to convince them to eat…. they think I am going to trick them somehow. I know that I won’t have any problem trying to feed them these gorgeous and delicious roll ups. I can only imagine the wonderful smell when they bake. Making them tomorrow – I’m so excited I may even take credit for the recipe!! hehe 😉

  15. These are delicious never thought we can make delicious sweet treat with simple white bread. I am going to give it try as kids loves sweets during their summer holidays. You are right tell them to try mom’s experiments result is not always fun. They are hard critic they will say it in face that this is not good. Hubby makes it sweet by telling me not to make it again.

  16. Heck! I’m with your little boys! I would have finished them all too. Just wait — they’ll get to know the aroma of cinnamon and sugar. They are quick to learn. Your treats really look delicious. I’ll have to try them on our grandsons.

  18. Lol, I would’ve felt scammed if my mom told me asparagus was good, too! It wasn’t until recently I started eating it!

    Churros are absolutely delicious and now I can have them for breakfast? SOLD – love your pictures!!

  20. I’ve never seen or tried these, but oh my what a delicious idea!! I’m not sure I’d have enough self control to share them with anyone 🙂

  21. That’s hilarious that your kids were skeptical about something covered in cinnamon and sugar, lol! These are so tasty looking – it would be impossible for me to limit myself to a normal size portion! And I’m loving the idea of adding apple filling to the center as well! Yum.

  23. Yet another recipe that people insist on changing or adding something. Whats wrong with just doing the item as its listed? IJS…
    If you want to try it then go ahead…..enjoy.

  25. Do you think I could make ahead and freeze? Planning a baby shower brunch for my daughter in law in 2 weeks and looking for recipes to get a head start on…

    • I haven’t tried making them ahead and freezing – I’d love to know how it turns out! Some loss of quality with the cream cheese mixture may happen, but I can’t say for sure?

  27. I switched the recipe up a little and I thing you guys should try it. You will need everything she needs but instead of just cream cheese n the middle, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in with the cream cheese and spread that on the bread. Then, all you have to do is follow the rest of the recipe. But, instead of sharing, eat them all for yourself 😄

  29. Question – I need to make these ahead. Can they be frozen free dipped in butter and sugars?
    Or just rolled up and dipped right before baking?
    Hope somebody replies I have 5 guests coming and these would be a great evening snack.
