Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mix (1/2 cup sugar + 1 tbsp cinnamon)

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Roll and Fill: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle shape. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix and chocolate chips over the dough, covering the surface completely.
  3. Form Rolls: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into individual rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Bake the Rolls: Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Make the Icing: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the icing over warm cinnamon rolls and optionally sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, sweet delight.

Notes

  • For extra gooey chocolate, add additional chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Ensure dough is not too sticky when rolling; dust your surface with flour as needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and warm before serving.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for a stronger cinnamon flavor.
