Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw bread slightly.
- Cut bread in half and then in half again lengthwise. Cut into cubes and roll in sugar and cinnamon.
- Put the coated bread cubes in a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure the bread is only slightly thawed before cutting. You can substitute the butter with margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you're short on time, using store-bought caramel sauce instead of making your own can save you time. For a twist, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mixture for added flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these rolls warm, drizzled with extra caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream on the side for a decadent treat. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a light yogurt parfait. They also make a delightful dessert for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
These Cinnamon Caramel Rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls the night before. Simply assemble them in the pan, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, allow them to come to room temperature before baking, which may take an additional 30 minutes.
What can I use instead of ice cream?
If you're looking for a lighter option, you can top the rolls with whipped cream or serve them with a dollop of Greek yogurt. For those avoiding dairy, coconut whipped cream is a great alternative that pairs well with the caramel flavor.
Can I freeze the Cinnamon Caramel Rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled rolls before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
