Ingredients:
For the Cinnamon Rolls Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
For the Chocolate Oatmeal Layer:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling
- While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Oatmeal Layer
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, brown sugar, salt, and milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the oats are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: Make the Chocolate Filling
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 5: Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Spread a layer of the prepared chocolate oatmeal over the cinnamon filling.
- Drizzle the chocolate filling over the oatmeal layer.
- Carefully roll up the dough starting from the longer side, making sure to keep it tight. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the roll into 12-15 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 6: Bake the Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 7: Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 8: Finish and Serve
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve immediately while the rolls are still warm and gooey, allowing the chocolate and cinnamon flavors to shine.
