Peanut Butter and Jelly Rolls for Breakfast or Dessert from Messes to Memories

Jelly has probably been one of the most challenging #PeanutButterBash ingredients I’ve had to work with.

Which is kind of weird since peanut butter and jelly go together perfectly!

Honestly, I couldn’t really get past the sandwich. So in the end I kept it simple and made a glorified PB & J.

It was an instant hit and healthy enough to have for breakfast… For breakfast, I actually just pulled a roll out and slathered peanut butter over the top instead of using the frosting.

However, for dessert, you will definitely want to use frosting!

This recipe is pretty easy, however, it does require some time since you let the dough rise twice. But it’s totally worth it!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Rolls are the perfect breakfast or dessert! They are light, fluffy and full of childhood flavors.
Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 8-9 cups flour
  • 1 Tbs. yeast
  • ½ cup dry milk
  • 2 cups water
  • ⅔ cup margarine
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 4 eggs
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ½ cup jelly
  • 2 tsp lemon
  • For the Peanut Butter Frosting:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese
Instructions
  1. In a large mixer bowl combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk.
  2. Add warm water and melted butter, stirring constantly. Add eggs.
  3. Beat together, knead in as much remaining flour to make a moderate stiff dough that is smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover, and let rise till double.
  5. Divide into two equal parts. Roll out and spread butter on top. Combine jelly and lemon and spread on top.
  6. Roll dough into a log shape and use a knife or floss to cut ¼-1/2 inch rolls and place them in the pan. Leave a little space so that they can rise again.
  7. Let rise and bake at 375 F 20-25 minutes. Watch them closely because they can go from not quite done to over done in less than a minute.
  8. Prepare frosting by mixing all the ingredients on high speed until light and fluffy! Add milk if too thick. Refrigerate.
  9. Let the rolls cool a bit and then drizzle the frosting over them. If its still warm the frosting will melt slightly and look divine. For a healthier option, just spread peanut butter over the top.

    I absolutely LOVE sweet rolls and this is such a great idea for flavors! I totally would have eaten more peanut butter and jelly as a kid had it been served in this form!
