Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a delightful treat that’s quick to make and perfect for a sweet snack or breakfast. With a crispy outside and creamy, cinnamon-spiced inside, they pair wonderfully with a drizzle of maple syrup.

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 coconut sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set this cinnamon sugar mixture aside to use later for coating the roll ups.
2. Step 2: Warm the tortillas briefly on the stove just until flexible, about a couple of seconds per side. Spread each tortilla evenly with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, covering the entire surface. Then, sprinkle some additional cinnamon and coconut sugar over the cream cheese (not the mixture from Step 1).
3. Step 3: Roll the tortillas up tightly. Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into smaller bite-sized pieces.
4. Step 4: Heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is hot, add the roll ups to the pan. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn crispy and slightly golden.
5. Step 5: Dip each cooked roll up into the cinnamon sugar mixture prepared earlier, ensuring some butter is still on the roll ups to help the coating stick well. If needed, prepare a little more cinnamon sugar to coat all pieces thoroughly.
6. Step 6: Serve the roll ups warm alongside maple syrup for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and vegan butter.
• Try adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or ground ginger to the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra warmth.
• If you prefer a sweeter filling, mix a little honey or maple syrup into the cream cheese before spreading.
• Use whole wheat or flavored tortillas for a different taste profile.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet over low heat to retain crispiness, or briefly in a toaster oven. Avoid microwaving to prevent them from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, you can use gluten-free, paleo, whole wheat, or any flour tortilla you prefer. Just warm them slightly to keep them flexible for rolling.

Can these roll ups be made ahead of time?

While you can assemble them ahead, it’s best to cook and coat the roll ups just before serving to maintain their crisp texture and fresh flavor.

---

Instructions

1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon of coconut sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this aside; it will be used later for coating the roll ups.
2. Warm and Spread Tortillas: Gently warm the tortillas on the stove for a couple of seconds to make them flexible. Then, spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, covering the entire surface. Sprinkle the cream cheese layer with extra cinnamon and coconut sugar (separate from the mixture made earlier) to add an additional sweet-spicy layer.
3. Roll and Slice: Roll each tortilla up tightly. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into smaller, bite-sized roll ups for easy cooking and serving.
4. Cook the Roll Ups: Heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. When the butter is hot and bubbling, add the roll ups to the pan. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they become crispy and take on a light golden color.
5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Dip each cooked roll up into the cinnamon sugar mixture prepared earlier. Ensure the roll ups have some butter on their surface from the pan to help the cinnamon sugar stick well. If needed, mix a little more cinnamon and coconut sugar to have enough coating for all pieces.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the roll ups warm, accompanied by maple syrup for dipping. Enjoy the combination of creamy, crispy, and sweet flavors!
