The beautiful part about being a grown-ass adult is the opportunity to establish your own traditions, particularly around the holidays. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast on New Year’s Day has become one of ours. I’ve tried quite a few recipes, now; sticky-pecan rolls, morning buns with extra cinnamon sugar, I’ve even tried fusing together the sticky bun recipe with the cream cheese frosting…nothing was THE RECIPE. This year, I did a little extra research into how to get the dough to be super fluffy, and the filling super decadent, without giving anyone a toothache, sugar rush or heart attack. I’m proud to announce that these Super-Fluffy Brown-Butter Date Cinnamon Rolls are IT. And I can’t wait until next New Year’s morn when we get to eat them again. (Although, let’s be honest – we won’t be able to wait that long!)
See the recipe notes below for more on why the technique I share below is rock-solid, and for more on the refined-sugar free way I put together this sultry filling!
