-
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and unroll the dough. If you’re using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle shape. Brush the dough with the melted butter.
-
Add the Oreo stuffing: Mix the crushed Oreos with the ground cinnamon and sugar. Evenly sprinkle this Oreo mixture over the buttered dough.
-
Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the dough, ensuring the filling stays inside. Slice the roll into 8-10 individual rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake the rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions (usually 20-25 minutes), or until golden brown and bubbly. If you’re using homemade dough, bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rolls are fully cooked through.
-
Prepare the glaze: While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk amount to reach your desired glaze consistency.
-
Glaze the rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the top of the rolls. If you like, add some extra crushed Oreos on top for added crunch and flavor.

Serve and enjoy: Serve the Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls warm, straight from the oven, for the ultimate decadent treat!
Serving and Storage Tips:
- Serve fresh: These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm when the filling is gooey and the glaze is creamy.
- Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore their softness. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 1 month; just let them cool completely before wrapping tightly and freezing.
Variants:
- Chocolate Chip Version: Replace the Oreos with chocolate chips for a chocolate chip-stuffed cinnamon roll.
- Nutty Twist: Add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the Oreo filling for extra texture.
- Peanut Butter Delight: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the dough before adding the Oreo mixture for a peanut butter and Oreo stuffed cinnamon roll.
