Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe

Introduction

Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a deliciously simple treat that combines creamy, sweet, and slightly crispy textures. Perfect for a quick breakfast or an easy dessert, these bite-sized roll ups are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 2 flour tortillas (gluten free, paleo, or regular), slightly warmed
• 4-6 tbsp cream cheese (regular or vegan)
• 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 tsp butter (vegan or regular)
• Maple syrup for dipping

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 tablespoon of coconut sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this cinnamon sugar mixture aside for the final coating.
2. Step 2: Warm the tortillas gently on the stove for a few seconds until they become flexible. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle each cream cheese-covered tortilla with additional cinnamon and coconut sugar (separately from the mixture made earlier).
4. Step 4: Roll the tortillas up tightly and use a sharp knife to slice them into smaller bite-sized roll ups.
5. Step 5: Heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Place the roll ups in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn crispy and golden.
6. Step 6: Dip each warm roll up into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring the butter on the roll ups helps the mixture stick well.
7. Step 7: Serve the roll ups alongside maple syrup for dipping and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Try using flavored cream cheese, like strawberry or honey, for a twist on the classic.
• For an extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts inside before rolling.
• Use coconut sugar for a natural sweetness, or substitute with brown sugar if preferred.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave nectar if you want a different dipping option.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to regain crispiness before serving. Avoid microwaving as it may soften the roll ups too much.

Main Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon of coconut sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this aside to use later for dipping your roll ups.
2. Warm and Spread Tortillas: Gently warm the tortillas on the stove for a few seconds to make them pliable. Spread each tortilla evenly with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, ensuring the entire surface is covered. Then sprinkle a portion of additional cinnamon and coconut sugar on top of the cream cheese (separately from the previously mixed cinnamon sugar).
3. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking and serving.
4. Pan-Fry Roll Ups: Heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt the butter in it. Once the butter is hot and bubbly, add the cinnamon sugar cream cheese roll ups. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until they become crispy and slightly golden brown.
5. Coat Roll Ups in Cinnamon Sugar: While the roll ups are still warm and buttery, dip each piece into the cinnamon sugar mixture you prepared earlier. The melted butter on the surface helps the cinnamon sugar stick perfectly. If needed, mix a small batch of extra cinnamon and coconut sugar for coating more pieces.
6. Serve with Maple Syrup: Arrange the coated roll ups on a serving plate and provide maple syrup on the side for dipping. Enjoy these warm, sweet, and creamy treats immediately.

Notes

• For softer tortillas, warm them only briefly to prevent cracking when rolling.
• You can use regular cream cheese or a vegan alternative depending on dietary preference.
• Adjust the amount of cinnamon and coconut sugar according to taste for a more or less sweet flavor.
• To make the recipe Paleo or gluten-free, use tortillas that conform to those diets.
• Serve immediately for best taste and texture; leftovers may lose crispness.
