Our Thanksgiving Brunch Tradition: Maple Cinnamon Rolls!

I had my very first Cinnabon in 2009 during a family trip to DisneyWorld in Florida. And let me tell you – I have been a fan of Cinnamon Rolls ever since. Gooey, warm, cinnamon-y, and downright delicious, how can anyone resist?

Naturally, I wanted to incorporate cinnamon rolls into our brunch rotation. Unfortunately, since we don’t live anywhere close to a Cinnabon store, I had to get creative and make my own! Now that I know better, I’ve sure realized that homemade always turns out 150% better!!

But you didn’t get to this post just for any Cinnamon Rolls, you came here to see what this Maple Cinnamon Rolls is all about! Well friends, I came up with these super easy Maple Cinnamon Rolls recipe 2 years ago, and it’s been our Thanksgiving brunch staple ever since! Finally, a ridiculously easy recipe for delicious, homemade Maple Cinnamon Rolls! These warm and gooey cinnamon buns make for the easiest breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Ingredients to Make Easy Maple Cinnamon Rolls

For the Dough:

  • 1 cups warm milk, regular or plant-based
  • 1 1/2 tbsp instant dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cups + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour (divided)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 7 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, sub coconut sugar 
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup warm creamer, regular or plant-based
  • 5 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

How to Make Easy Maple Cinnamon Rolls

For the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, add the flour, yeast, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  2. In another bowl, add the milk and melted butter. Use a mixer or whisk until combined. Add in the dry ingredients and eggs, then mix again until combined.
  3. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until a soft and elastic dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough into a lightly greased bowl (you can use butter, melted coconut oil, or cooking spray), then cover loosely with a towel. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes until dough has risen.

For the Filling:

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle.
  2. Mix the softened butter and maple syrup, then spread the mixture on top of the dough.
  3. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar, then roll up the dough tightly. Evenly cut into 12 rolls and place on a lightly greased  9-inch round pie pan or 9×13 rectangular baking pan.
  4. Cover the pan tightly and let it sit for 60 minutes in a warm place, or until the rolls have doubled in size.

Baking the Cinnamon Rolls:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Pour the warm creamer on top of cinnamon rolls, and let it soak thoroughly.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until rolls are slightly browned and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

For the Glaze:

  1. In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and butter. Mix well.
  2. Add in the maple extract and powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
  3. Evenly spread the maple frosting over the cinnamon buns. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container. ENJOY!

Being a third-culture kid, I grew up eating fusion Being a third-culture kid, I grew up eating fusion food ALL the time 🇮🇩🇺🇸 

From chowing on the trendy "sushi-ritos" with friends and regularly eating homecooked fusion dinners (my mother often couldn't find some of the more traditional Indonesian ingredients in America, so we had to improvise!)

But you know, I'm really thankful for my childhood.

Having to innovate with different ingredients has taught me a deep appreciation for the mixing of flavors 💥 

And so last night (as I was cooking mushroom rice pilaf for dinner), I thought "you know, why not put a little Mexican spin on this very Middle Eastern dish?"

A ½ cup of roasted hatch green chiles and a handful of chopped cilantro later, we had a winning combo of our modern mushroom rice pilaf fusion recipe.

Seriously guys, it was so good we finished the entire panful of pilaf in 2 meals.

If you wanna make it👇👇

Outdoors Date Night! 🥰 @thefeedfeed x @epicbar Outdoors Date Night! 🥰
@thefeedfeed x @epicbar [ spon ]

In honor of this warmer morning today, here’s a photo of Evan and me in the snowy cold last week ❄️ 

Every week, we love setting aside time for a date! While it’s typically filled with sushi, burgers, and good convos, we decided to switch it up! So last week, I convinced Evan to join me for some snow fun outside⛄️ 

I mean, does anyone else get so fidgety after staying indoors all day?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Anyways, knowing what we know now (that both of us get #hangry SOO fast when we’re cold), we decided to stop by our local @themerccoop to buy a few of our favorite #epicbar bites and strips. 🛒 We typically change up the flavors we get, but this time, we chose to go with the Bison Bites, Chicken Sriracha Bites, Salmon Strip, and Chicken Strip!

And let me tell you- these are amazing if you want a super easy way to re-fuel on-the-go! 💪🏼 

Right now, ALL Epic Provisions items are on SALE at local co-ops nationwide until March 2nd! That means you can get:
💥 3 bars for $5
💥2 rinds $5
💥Bites for $4.49
💥2 strips for $3
💥Broths for $4.49

so hey, while we stock up around here, you can find YOUR local co-op by visiting bit.ly/find-coop :)

Do you guys have fun plans today? This weekend? Let me know! ⬇️😊
