Print Recipe

Mini Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze and Crumble Topping are soft, fluffy cinnamon-spiced rolls finished with a rich cream cheese glaze and buttery crumble, ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup flour (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble)

Instructions

  1. Combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit until foamy.
  2. Add softened butter, egg, salt, and flour. Knead into a soft dough. Let rise until doubled in size.
  3. Roll out dough on a floured surface, spread with softened butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Roll up the dough and slice into mini rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix crumble ingredients (butter, flour, brown sugar) until crumbly. Sprinkle over the rolls. Let rise for 20 minutes.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave or oven before serving.
  • For make-ahead, refrigerate unbaked rolls overnight and bake fresh the next day.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and cream cheese alternatives.
  • Don’t overbake to ensure rolls stay soft and moist.
