Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

Mmm Cinnamon Rolls! One of my favorite things to eat! I have tried to make them a few times in years past but had not found a recipe I really liked till now. I found this one right before Christmas and it’s a keeper. I love that I make these the day before and pop them in the fridge and bake them the next morning!

Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup Olive or Vegetable Oil optional
1 egg optional
1/2 cup flour if optional items are used
3 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons butter melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2-4 tsp milk

Directions

In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, sugar, and salt, along with oil and egg, if using. Let sit five minutes. Stir in first cup and a half cup of flour with a heavy spoon. Add more flour a little at a time as needed, stirring until dough becomes too stiff to continue stirring easily. Add a little more flour and begin kneading. The amount of flour is approximate–your mileage may vary! Continue adding flour and kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let dough rise in a greased, covered bowl until doubled. (Usually, about an hour.) Uncover bowl; sprinkle in a little more flour and knead again. Roll out onto a floured surface into an approximately 15 x 8 rectangle.
Combine sugar, melted butter and cinnamon; generously spoon onto dough, taking care to get right up to the edges!
Roll dough up and seal seams. How many rolls you get will depend on how you cut the slices. I cut them about an inch thick to get 15 rolls.
Place rolls in a large greased pan. To bake right away, let rise 30 minutes to an hour, until doubled, or for overnight rolls, stick the pan (covered) in the fridge. They’ll be risen and ready for you the next morning!
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 20- 30 minutes. (How thick you cut your slices will vary your baking time, so keep an eye on ‘em!)
Mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk and drizzle over rolls.

I will say that I tried these with whole wheat flour and was not impressed. Also you may want to double the filling. I have not done that yet but it seems like there is never enough of the inside goodness! Over all I think this is a really easy and yummy recipe and make these a lot for snacks for church or special occasions!

Whole Wheat Pancakes

My son loves pancakes and would eat them every morning if he could. Thankfully at this point he likes them covered with flavored yogurt rather then syrup which makes them a little healthier. Normally my husband makes us breakfast a few times a month on Saturday and I then give my son the leftover pancakes through out the week. A few weeks back my daughter wanted pancakes for supper and I wanted to try some homemade ones other then the Bisquick ones my husband normally makes. I had this recipe that I had bookmarked from a food blog so I gave it a try. I love how easy they where to make and how healthy they really are. My son loves them and I plan to make a double batch soon so I can freeze some.

1 cup milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Combine milk and flour and beat in a blender on high speed for 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and beat on high for 2 more minutes. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour pancake batter on hot griddle and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Serve with butter and warm syrup

Yields: 10-12 pancakes

I also love how I had everything I needed to make these pancakes no buttermilk required which is good since I don’t keep that in my fridge a lot. I am thinking about adding a little cinnamon the next time I make these just to change them up a little.

Oatmeal Cake

Not the best picture I know but I was in a hurry this morning. I first had this recipe a few months back at a MOMS Club activity. I kept meaning to make it but never did. This morning I had a MOMS Club activity to go to and needed something fast and yummy and this recipe fits that bill perfectly.
