Super Food Saturday, Treats to Share

Not all of my recipes are super healthy.  Today I have to bring a dish for a breakfast as dinner meal for my ski patrol.  These two recipes may not be super healthy, but they are super good tasting.  It was -1 F today, so the smell of hot cinnamon rolls baking was just wonderful.

Cinnabons Cinnamon Rolls


1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 cups bread flour

Filling
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 cup butter softened

Cream Cheese Icing
1 stick of butter
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk, let stand until 5 minutes until yeast begins to foam.  Add the sugar, butter, salt, eggs and flour to a bowl.  Mix in the flour until a soft dough is formed.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is 16 inches by 12 inches wide. It should be 1/4 " thick.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

To mak filling, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Spread the mixture over the rolled out dough.
Roll the dough down to the bottom edge.  Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place the cut slices in the prepared pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 30 minutes.  Bake for 20 minutes or until light brown.  While the rolls are baking, beat the butter and cream cheese. Add the sugar and vanilla.
When the rolls are done, let them cool slightly then spread with the frosting.



Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins


2 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda

Filling
1 ounce package cream cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
Beat together until creamy

24 pecan halves

Put the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin in a large bowl. Mix well. In another bowl mix the flour, spices and baking soda.  Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Line two 12 cup muffin pans with cup cake papers.  Place the  half of the batter among the muffin tins.  Then divide the filling among the tins.  Add the rest of the batter to each tin. Top each with a pecan half. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Makes 24 muffins
