Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by blending funfetti sprinkles together to create a mix for the dough and filling. The dough is made by mixing Funfetti cake mix with additional flour, warm water, and active dry yeast. Once combined and kneaded, the dough is brushed with oil and allowed to rise until doubled in size. Rolled out thin, it is coated with melted butter and a cinnamon-sugar-spinkle mixture, then rolled into a log and sliced into individual rolls for a second rise.
Baking at 350°F for about 30 minutes yields soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls with festive sprinkles throughout, adding color and slight crunch. A vanilla powdered sugar icing made from powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whole milk completes the rolls with a creamy topping. These cinnamon rolls balance sweetness with tender yeast-raised dough and are visually vibrant due to the funfetti elements, offering a playful twist on a classic treat.
