    Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Roll with Yogurt

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Strawberry Cinnamon Roll is an easy brunch treat that starts with packaged cinnamon rolls. Bake and fill with sweetened Greek yogurt and sliced strawberries, roll up, then drizzle with icing and chocolate. Perfect for kids to make for mom on Mother's Day or just for a quick dessert for those unexpected guests.

    Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Roll

    Easy Cinnamon Roll

    This strawberry roll is the perfect treat for Mom. The kids will have no trouble helping Dad make it or, in fact, have no trouble helping eat it either! It's the best of both worlds, a delicious cinnamon roll, complete with icing, and fresh delicious strawberries and cream for a filling. It's like breakfast and dessert rolled into one.

    The great thing about this roll is how quick and easy it is to make and how beautiful it looks when it's done. The kids could also opt for this Almond Danish Puff, Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes, or Overnight Blueberry Croissant Breakfast Bake but this Strawberry Cinnamon Roll has to be one of the easiest and showiest breakfast treats.

    Cinnamon Roll filling ingredients

    Variations for Sweet Roll

    Try adding your favorite fruit in lieu of strawberries. Blueberries, kiwi, raspberries and sliced blackberries work well.

    Substitute Nutella and bananas for yogurt and strawberries for a delicious kids favorite.

    Substitute frosting, ice cream or whipped cream for yogurt.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best pan to use to cook the cinnamon roll?

    I like to use a quarter sheet pan. It's the exact size needed for this recipe. If you don't have a quarter sheet pan, a regular half-sized sheet pan will work (essentially a cookie sheet with sides) but you will only use half the sheet.

    How do you heat cinnamon roll icing?

    Take the top off the cinnamon icing container and place in microwave. Heat for 10 seconds on high. The icing is now ready to easily drizzle on roll.

    Does the sweet roll need to be refrigerated?

    Basic cinnamon rolls can stay at room temperature for 2 days when wrapped in plastic wrap or up to one week in the refrigerator. When stuffed with yogurt and strawberries, the roll must be covered and stored in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 5 days.
