Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Stuffed with Cookie Butter and Topped with Sweet Glaze

Benefits and Advantages of Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

Biscoff cinnamon rolls are beloved for their unique combination of warm cinnamon spice and the rich, caramelized flavor imparted by Biscoff cookie butter. These rolls feature a soft and fluffy texture that is perfectly complemented by a gooey, sweet biscoff filling, making each bite indulgent and satisfying. This recipe stands out because it is approachable and easy to follow, suitable for bakers of all skill levels.

Importantly, the recipe is flexible, offering vegan and gluten-free variations that accommodate a range of dietary preferences without sacrificing the signature taste and texture.

Combining delicious flavor with practical versatility, biscoff cinnamon rolls are a treasured addition to any baker’s collection.

• 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional 1/2 cup as needed (550-615 g) or gluten-free flour blend for alternatives
• 4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) instant dry yeast (14 g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon fine salt (6 g)
• 1 cup warm whole milk (240 ml) or plant-based milk like oat milk for vegan version
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113 g) or vegan butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
• 2 large eggs, room temperature (112 g) or vegan egg substitutes
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar (200 g)
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (16 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt (2 g)
• 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter (113 g) or vegan butter for filling
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup melted biscoff cookie butter (50-66 g)
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped Biscoff cookies (50 g) or crushed cookies
• For frosting: 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 g) or vegan butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (8 ml), 1/4 teaspoon fine salt (1 g), 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (190 g), 3 tablespoons heavy cream (45 ml) or plant-based milk, 1/4 to 1/3 cup melted cookie butter (50-66 g)

Dietary Substitutions to Customize Your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

To tailor biscoff cinnamon rolls for various dietary needs, keep these substitutions in mind:

• Vegan: Use plant-based milk such as oat or almond milk, vegan butter, and egg substitutes like flax or chia eggs. For the frosting, replace heavy cream with almond or other plant-based milks.
• Gluten-free: Replace all-purpose flour with a certified gluten-free flour blend. Adjust yeast amount if needed, and use gluten-free baking powder.
• Lower-calorie: Substitute granulated and brown sugar with natural sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol. Use light plant-based milk for fewer calories.
• Dairy-free: Swap dairy butter and cream with coconut oil, vegan margarine, or plant-based dairy alternatives.
• Nut allergies: Avoid nut-based milks by using oat, rice, or soy milk safely.

These substitutions preserve the rolls’ light, fluffy texture and rich flavor while accommodating specific dietary requirements.

How to Prepare the Perfect Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Activate yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm plant-based milk with yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix dough ingredients: Add softened vegan butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon; stir to combine. Then add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
3. Add flour: Gradually stir in all-purpose or gluten-free flour until a soft dough forms. Adjust flour as needed to avoid stickiness.
4. Knead dough: On a floured surface, knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Gluten-free dough may need less kneading.
5. First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 2 hours.
6. Shape rolls: Roll dough into a 14 x 18-inch rectangle (or smaller for vegan version). Spread softened butter and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-biscoff filling mix. Drizzle melted cookie butter and add chopped cookies if desired.
7. Roll and cut: Roll up tightly from one edge, seal the seam with water, and cut into 12 equal slices using dental floss or a sharp knife.
8. Second rise: Arrange rolls in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan, cover and let rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. Optionally refrigerate overnight for make-ahead.
9. Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Prepare frosting: Mix butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cream, whisk to desired consistency, and drizzle melted cookie butter on top.
11. Glaze and serve: Allow rolls to cool 10-20 minutes before spreading frosting to ensure even melting. Serve warm.

Advanced Tips and Variations

For added texture and complexity, incorporate chopped pecans or walnuts into the filling along with the cookie butter spread. After baking, brushing the rolls with melted vegan butter keeps them moist and glossy. To intensify sweetness, mix brown sugar into the biscoff filling. Experiment with spices like cardamom or nutmeg alongside cinnamon to create a multi-dimensional flavor.

Include dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries in the filling for variety. For frosting alternatives, try a vegan cream cheese frosting to provide a creamy and tangy contrast. When preparing in advance, slice the rolls prior to freezing; this enables individual thawing. Reheat rolls wrapped in foil or covered loosely in a toaster oven or microwave to maintain softness and warmth.

How to Store Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls: Best Practices

To keep your biscoff cinnamon rolls fresh and delicious, store them properly following these tips:

• Short-term storage: Place the rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days. This will help maintain their soft texture and prevent drying out.
• Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the rolls either before or after baking. If freezing before baking, tightly cover the shaped rolls and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking fresh. For baked rolls, ensure they are completely cooled before wrapping individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: To warm refrigerated or thawed rolls, microwave them covered with a damp paper towel or heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, covered with foil to retain moisture. This restores softness and the gooey texture of the biscoff filling.

Proper storage preserves the rolls’ moist crumb and rich biscoff flavor, ensuring they taste freshly baked each time you indulge. Avoid leaving rolls uncovered to prevent them from drying out and losing their signature fluffy texture.

Nutritional Value of Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

Biscoff cinnamon rolls combine rich flavor with moderate protein and carbohydrates, chiefly from flour, sugar, and the biscoff filling. The fat content primarily comes from butter or vegan butter used in the dough and filling, including saturated fats. The recipe can be adapted to lower sugar or use alternative ingredients to fit dietary preferences, balancing indulgence and nutrition. Cinnamon also contributes antioxidants, adding a subtle health benefit to this classic sweet treat.
