Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Variations

Rolls with Chocolate and Cinnamon
Add chocolate chips to the filling and combine them with cocoa powder for a delectable touch. To begin, mix the flour and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Next, add the cinnamon and sugar to the buttered dough after scattering 1 cup of micro chocolate chips over it.
Cinnamon Apple Rolls
Add finely chopped apples to the filling for a delicious twist. To keep them from browning, peel and chop two medium apples, then toss them with a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Rolls with Pecan Caramel
Place pecan pieces and caramel sauce on top of the rolls for a nutty, caramelized variant. Before adding the sugar and cinnamon to the buttered dough, scatter 1 cup of chopped nuts over it. Drizzle the rolls with warm caramel sauce after baking.

The breakfast spread gets a crunchy, salty touch from the smoked bacon. The soft, sweet cinnamon rolls are a wonderful counterpoint to the bacon’s smoky, salty flavor.
