Ingredients
Instructions
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of decrusted bread.
- Spread each slice with softened cream cheese.
- Roll up each slice and then roll it in melted margarine.
- Coat the rolled bread in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- These can be made ahead and frozen.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon directly into the cream cheese before spreading it on the bread. If you don’t have margarine, melted butter works as a great substitute. For a fun twist, try using flavored cream cheeses like strawberry or pumpkin spice. If you prefer, swap the loaf bread for croissants for a richer taste, which would also pair beautifully with Pecan Breakfast Rolls.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Cinnamon Roll-Ups warm for the best experience, perhaps dusted with additional powdered sugar. They make a delightful breakfast treat or dessert, especially when paired with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a side of Chocolate Gravy(Over 65 Years Old) for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Cinnamon Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but this may soften the texture slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat bread instead of white?
Yes, whole wheat bread can be used as a healthier option, although it may slightly alter the flavor and texture. The added nuttiness of whole wheat will complement the sweetness of the cream cheese and sugar. Just ensure the bread is still soft enough to roll without cracking.
How can I make these dairy-free?
To make Cinnamon Roll-Ups dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative like almond or cashew cream cheese. Use a plant-based margarine or coconut oil instead of regular margarine. This way, you can enjoy the same delicious flavors without the dairy.
Can I freeze these before baking?
Absolutely! You can prepare the Cinnamon Roll-Ups and freeze them before baking. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to an airtight container. When ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time for best results.
