Transforming your cinnamon rolls into a delightful treat can be as simple as incorporating a popular cereal into the mix. The idea is to blend the classic comfort of cinnamon rolls with the delightful crunch and flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Start by preparing your cinnamon roll dough as usual, ensuring that the rich, buttery base is ready to complement the added ingredients. Before rolling the dough out, sprinkle crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal over the surface, allowing it to mingle with the cinnamon sugar filling. As you roll the dough into its signature spiral, the cereal adds a layer of texture and a burst of cinnamon flavor that elevates the entire pastry. Once baked, the aroma of cinnamon fills the air, enticing everyone nearby. For an added twist, consider incorporating crushed cereal into the icing, providing a sweet, crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with the gooey roll beneath. This combination of soft, warm dough and crispy cereal creates a delightful sensory experience, making each bite an exciting adventure. Not only does this method enhance the flavor and texture, but it also introduces a playful and nostalgic element to the classic cinnamon roll, making it a perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.

When preparing that rich, buttery brown sugar filling, elevate the flavor by incorporating crumbled cinnamon cereal. This idea, inspired by The Salty Cooker, involves crushing the cereal into a spreadable consistency, making it easier to mix with the brown sugar and butter, ensuring it blends seamlessly into the rolls.

If you're crafting cinnamon rolls from scratch, this filling technique is ideal. However, if you sometimes opt for the convenience of canned rolls like we do, you can still enjoy this concept. While you can't mix the Cinnamon Toast Crunch directly into the rolls, you can use it as a topping. Simply crush the cereal to achieve a crumb-like texture. After baking the rolls and while they're still warm, spread on the frosting, then dip the tops of each cinnamon roll into the Cinnamon Toast Crunch crumbs. The delightful aspect of this method is that the crumbs remain wonderfully crunchy, providing a perfect contrast of textures to this simple dish.
