In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes or until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roll and Fill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 12&#215;18 inches). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roll and Slice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 even pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Glaze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a touch more milk if the glaze is too thick. Stir in the rainbow sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glaze and Serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and top with additional sprinkles for extra fun. Serve warm and enjoy the soft, gooey, sprinkle-filled delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect way to combine nostalgia with indulgence. They\u2019re playful, festive, and absolutely delicious for any occasion where a regular cinnamon roll just isn\u2019t exciting enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Stick around\u2014every visit tastes better than the last at The Buttered Bliss.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thebutteredbliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-17-2025-08_56_31-PM-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebutteredbliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-17-2025-08_56_31-PM-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/thebutteredbliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-17-2025-08_56_31-PM-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/thebutteredbliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-17-2025-08_56_31-PM-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/thebutteredbliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-17-2025-08_56_31-PM.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cinnamon rolls just got a fun, festive upgrade with this Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls recipe.
