There’s something undeniably comforting about a freshly baked cinnamon roll – soft, sweet, and warm from the oven. Now, imagine that classic pastry combined with the natural sweetness and juicy flavor of fresh peaches. These Peachy Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect fusion of two beloved flavors, creating a treat that feels both indulgent and refreshing.

This recipe brings the essence of summer right to your kitchen, where the fragrant scent of peaches and cinnamon fills the air as the rolls bake to perfection. It’s a wonderful way to take advantage of peach season or bring a little sunshine to your table during the cooler months.

A Bite of Heaven

The combination of sweet peaches and spiced cinnamon rolled into a soft, buttery dough makes each bite of these Peachy Cinnamon Rolls a unique and delightful experience. The dough itself is soft and tender, rising beautifully to create that signature cinnamon roll texture. The peaches, layered inside, burst with flavor, while the cinnamon and brown sugar create a caramelized filling that elevates the taste to a whole new level.

And the glaze – a simple mix of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla – adds the perfect finishing touch, drizzled over the top of the warm rolls. It’s sweet, creamy, and ties all the flavors together for a truly mouthwatering dessert or breakfast treat.

Recipe: Peachy Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 cups sliced fresh peaches
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
2. Create the dough: Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for an hour or until it doubles in size.
3. Prepare the filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Add the peaches: Distribute the sliced peaches evenly over the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Gently roll the dough into a tight log, then slice it into even rolls.
5. Second rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
7. Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze.
8. Glaze the rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over them. Serve warm and enjoy!
