These ingredients come together beautifully, delivering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Each component plays a crucial role, from the soft bread flour dough to the luxurious Biscoff cream cheese frosting topping.

Bread flour (5 ½ cups): Provides the perfect chewy texture thanks to its higher protein content.
Instant yeast (1 tablespoon): Helps the dough rise perfectly, ensuring fluffy rolls without waiting too long.
Granulated sugar (⅓ cup): Adds just enough sweetness to the dough for a balanced flavor.
Salt (1 teaspoon): Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Infuses a warm aroma that complements the cinnamon and Biscoff spread.
Milk (1 ¼ cups): Contributes to tender dough and richer flavor.
Eggs (2): Add structure and a rich golden color to the dough.
Butter, melted and cooled (¼ cup): Keeps the dough soft and moist for that melt-in-your-mouth effect.
Butter, room temperature (½ cup for filling): Helps create a smooth, spreadable filling that locks in flavor.
Cinnamon (2 tablespoons): Classic spice that pairs harmoniously with Biscoff’s caramel notes.
Brown sugar (1 cup): Adds deep sweetness and helps create the gooey filling texture.
Biscoff spread (⅓ cup for filling and 2 tablespoons for frosting): The star ingredient that brings that signature caramelized cookie flavor.
Butter, room temperature (¼ cup for frosting): Creates a creamy base for the frosting.
Cream cheese, full fat, room temperature (4 oz): Adds tangy richness to balance the sweet frosting.
Salt (¼ teaspoon for frosting): Enhances the frosting flavor without overpowering it.
Powdered sugar (2 cups): Creates a silky smooth frosting with the perfect sweetness.

How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Start by combining the bread flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. This dough is vital for getting that soft and pillowy texture you crave in cinnamon rolls. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 2: Make the Filling

While your dough is rising, whip together the room temperature butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and Biscoff spread until creamy and smooth. This filling is where the magic happens, combining classic cinnamon flavor with the unique, caramelized sweetness of Biscoff spread, making every roll irresistibly flavorful.

Step 3: Roll Out and Fill

Once your dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the filling generously over the dough, ensuring an even layer that will melt into every bite. For an extra Biscoff punch, drizzle the additional ⅓ cup of Biscoff spread evenly on top before rolling.

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

Roll the dough tightly from one long edge, creating a log. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls, placing them in a greased baking dish with some space to expand. Cover and let the rolls rise again until puffy and almost doubled, about 45 minutes. This second rise is essential for fluffy, soft rolls with a tender crumb.

Step 5: Bake

Bake the rolls in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. The smell at this stage will be sheer heaven, filling your kitchen with spicy cinnamon and sweet Biscoff aromas that will have everyone eagerly waiting.

Step 6: Prepare the Biscoff Cream Cheese Frosting

While the rolls bake, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, salt, powdered sugar, and Biscoff spread, mixing well to create a rich, luscious frosting that perfectly complements the rolls’ warmth and spice.

Step 7: Assemble and Top

Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before generously frosting the tops with your homemade Biscoff cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff biscuits over the frosting for added crunch and that signature cookie flavor blast.

Garnishes

Sprinkling crushed Biscoff biscuits on top is a classic way to finish these rolls, adding texture and reinforcing the distinct Biscoff flavor. You could also add a light drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of cinnamon sugar for extra flair.

Side Dishes

Enjoy your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe with a hot cup of coffee, chai latte, or a creamy hot chocolate to balance out the sweetness and provide a warm, comforting experience. Fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream can add freshness and contrast.

Creative Ways to Present

Present these rolls on a rustic wooden platter or a vibrant ceramic dish to invite friends and family to dig in. You can cut rolls individually or serve them in a layered tower for a stunning centerpiece at brunch. Wrapping a single roll in parchment and tying with twine also makes a charming take-home gift at gatherings.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep leftover Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain their softness. If you want to keep them a bit longer, storing in the fridge can extend freshness for about 4 days, but bring to room temperature before serving for best results.

Freezing

You can freeze these cinnamon rolls either before or after baking. For unbaked rolls, cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before the second rise and bake as usual. For baked rolls, freeze after frosting in a sealed container and thaw at room temperature or in the microwave to enjoy later.

Reheating

Reheat your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a warm oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes to bring back that soft, gooey texture. Adding a little extra frosting after reheating can freshen up the flavor and moisture.

FAQs

Can I use regular cinnamon instead of Biscoff spread?

While cinnamon is a key ingredient, the Biscoff spread is what gives these rolls their unique flavor. Substituting it will change the taste quite a bit, but you could try using cookie butter or speculoos spread as a close alternative for a similar effect.

Is it possible to make these rolls vegan?

Yes! To make a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk, use vegan butter or margarine, and replace eggs with flaxseed eggs or commercial egg replacer. Also, check that your Biscoff spread is vegan-friendly, as most are.

How long does the dough need to rise?

The dough typically needs about 1 to 1.5 hours for the initial rise until doubled in size. The second rise after shaping the rolls takes about 45 minutes. Warmer environments will speed this up, cooler ones slow it down.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

You can attempt this recipe with a gluten-free flour blend formulated for bread baking, but results may vary. Gluten gives these rolls their structure and chew, so expect some differences in texture.

What can I do if my rolls come out dry?

If your rolls seem dry, it might be due to overbaking or not enough moisture in the dough. Ensuring the correct measurements of milk and butter and not baking beyond the recommended time should help. Reheating with a slightly damp paper towel over the rolls can restore moisture when serving leftovers.

The Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe is truly a delightful twist on a beloved classic, offering the perfect blend of soft, sweet, and spiced in every bite.
