What’s better than some Chocolate to start the day! These soft and berrylicious rolls are filled with chocolate chips and drizzled with a Chocolate glaze! Serve them warm as is, or with the chocolate glaze and with some fresh berries.
I decided that I had to make some Cinnamon Rolls for Angela’s Bed in Breakfast guest series. Warm rolls with a glaze are perfect in this freezing weather. It also helps to start up the oven in the morning :). These rolls can be baked in the morning or baked a day before and served warm. I love adding fruit to my bread. The pureed strawberries in the dough keeps the breads extra moist and you need less sugar and glaze to eat these up. Use any berries that you like!

Hi!
Can I use frozen plums instead of strawberries?
Joanna
Go for it!! that would actually work well because of a similar moisture content in them,
I’m trying this out now… In mixture directions it says add yeast mixture strawberry purée and “oil”… But I don’t see how much oil? I only see oil referenced for coating pan unless I’m missing gsomething?
its 1 to 2 tbsp. i’ll add it to the recipe.
This looks so delicious! Thank you very much for creating and sharing the recipe.
