    These Bloomin’ Cinnamon Rolls are full of ooey, gooey caramel goodness. Make this blooming cinnamon roll monkey bread like recipe for breakfast or dessert.

    Bloomin' Cinnamon Rolls

    Cinnamon rolls of one of the desserts that bring me back to my childhood. My mom has always made the most amazing cinnamon rolls. She makes pans of big fluffy cinnamon rolls, sticky caramel rolls, cinnamon roll loaves and cinnamon sticks.

    I remember one time when I was little, my mom had just pulled a pan of caramel cinnamon rolls out of the oven and had me run one over to our elderly neighbor’s house so she could enjoy them too!

    Today’s Bloomin’ Cinnamon Rolls recipe reminds me of those delicious caramel rolls. Like the Bloomin’ Baked Apples and Bloomin’ Baked Potatoes, these Bloomin’ Cinnamon Rolls are sure to become a family favorite!

    How To Make Bloomin’ Cinnamon Rolls

    butter and sugar in ramekins

    Start by preheating the oven to 170 degrees. Then, melt one tablespoon of butter in four ramekins (7 or 8 ounce size) and add a tablespoon of brown sugar. Mix the brown sugar and the butter together.

    Frozen Cinnamon Rolls for Bloomin' Cinnamon Rolls

    Top the mixture with a frozen cinnamon roll. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

    Raise Cinnamon Rolls

    Turn the oven OFF (this is very important because you don’t want the cinnamon rolls to bake yet) and put the frozen cinnamon rolls in the oven to rise for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees.

    Cut Cinnamon Rolls

    Use a pair of kitchen scissors to make cuts around the cinnamon roll (the cuts don’t have to go all of the way through). Leave the center uncut.

    Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar

    Mix together two tablespoons of granulated sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle one teaspoon of the mixture over each of the cut cinnamon rolls.

    Bloomin' Cinnamon Roll Fresh From The Oven

    Bake the bloomin’ cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

    Caramel Drizzle on Bloomin' Cinnamon Rolls

    Then, drizzle the cinnamon rolls with one teaspoon of caramel ice cream topping.

    It’s like an individual serving of caramel monkey bread!

    Bloomin' Cinnamon Rolls Recipe with Icing On Top

    Mix together two tablespoons of softened butter, one cup of powdered sugar, two tablespoons of milk and half of a teaspoon of vanilla. Drizzle the icing over the blooming cinnamon rolls.

    forkful of cinnamon roll

    Take an ooey, gooey, caramel-ey bite. The bottom has a delicious layer of caramel just waiting to be scooped up!

    There’s nothing quite like a warm cinnamon roll. These Bloomin’ Cinnamon Rolls are comfort food at its best. Try making them for dessert or as part of a special breakfast!

      I love ANYTHING with cinnamon. In fact, my grandmother used it in pretty much every single sweet thing she made–which was a lot. When she passed, we found (no kidding) upwards of 10 tins of cinnamon. Her motto at the grocery store was “you never know when you’re going to run out!” So, she never did. :o) These look like a great way to use cinnamon and make just me happy. Or maybe I’ll make enough for other people, too. Maybe.
