Who doesn’t like cinnamon rolls, everyone I know loves them. So, I decided to put a twist on my 7UP biscuit recipe and try making some Raisin Cinnamon Rolls foragathering with a few friends. You know, the guys watched the game or fight, whatever it was, the girls sat in the kitchen and chatted, the kids played, and there was always a mom or dad chasing one of the kids around lol. It was a lot of fun, and I didn’t want to go too crazy on food, so I stuck with a few delicious finger foods andthesedelicious cinnamon rolls.
There were a few kids who wouldn’t touch the cinnamon rolls because I added raisins but everyone else liked them. I’m making a note of that too if there are kids remember to make regular and raisin because not all kids like raisin. My kids will eat anything that doesn’t eat them first.
I didn’t tell my kids I was using a new recipe, but they noticed right away. Which is not a good thing, in most cases they don’t like it when they bring up the new recipe. But they ate their whole cinnamon roll and asked me if they could save one for breakfast if there were any left. There wasn’t any left, but I promised them I would make them more this upcoming weekend because this recipe is seriously super easy, and I really want to try and make some cherry cinnamon rolls.
To make these delicious raisin cinnamon rolls, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 Cups Baking Mix
- 1/2 – 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Cup 7UP
- 1 Cup Raisins
- 2 Sticks of butter (softened)
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 ½ Cups Powdered Sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla
- 2 – 3 Tablespoons Milk
To make the cinnamon rolls follow the below directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- and set aside for later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, 7UP®, sour cream, and raisins and mix using a stand mixer or electric mixer.
- Once dough is combined, flour a flat surface to roll the dough out into a rectangle formation.
- After dough is rolled out, spread softened butter and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
- Next take the widest side of the dough and roll in log formation.
- Once dough is completely rolled cut the log into slices (thickness is your choice)
- Place rolls into a buttered plan.
- Bake for about 12 minutes or until done.
- While dough is baking combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and milk.
- When cinnamon rolls are finished, spread the cream cheese glaze on top of them and serve.
I’ve been thinking about trying this Cinnamon Rolls recipe with Cherry 7UP next! OMG, wouldn’t that be delicious? I don’t know that I would make them for a social gathering, though. Only because nobody would leave me one, but I’ll sneak one in right after they are finished baking next time. See, we learn from our mistakes, right?
Sure, there are plenty of lemon-lime sodas out there, but none of them areas refreshing, clean and crisp as 7UP! It’s so much more than just soda, it can be used for all sorts of things. As an adult, I go for 7UP because I can remember my grandma always keeping it around because it was soda that everyone enjoyed, she used to make all sorts of things, adults could make mixed drinks, and the kids could have a treat without caffeine lol. She was a smart woman, and I’ve always done little things that I remember her doing, like having 7UP for every family gathering and cooking with it. However, my personal preference is Cherry 7UP for mixed drinks. 7UP and Cherry 7UP are perfect for your social gatherings, recipes, or just evenings hanging out with the family.
Food and drinks are one of the essential parts of just about any social event, and I try to be a smart shopper and savvy host so I buy 7UP and Cherry 7UP because I can use it for co*cktails ormocktails. It’salso perfect for social gatherings, hanging with the family on movie night, cooking, or baking.
