Tres Leches Cinnamon Rolls

We’ve baked our fair share of breakfast pastries, but this recipe completely changed our perspective on what a cinnamon roll can be. The magic isn’t just in the fluffy, yeast-risen dough; it’s the rich, three-milk soak we pour over the rolls the second they leave the oven. That liquid gold seeps into every layer, ensuring that every single bite tastes just like the gooey, coveted center of the roll. This kind of decadence demands the best ingredients, so using Hiland Dairy milk and butter is the only way to achieve that impossible-to-fake, bakery-quality finish. Hiland Cream Cheese is in the vanilla bean-flecked frosting, too.

Hiland Dairy Oklahoma Tres Leches Cinnamon Rolls

  • Author: MIO Coalition

Ingredients

For the dough:
2 C. Hiland Dairy milk
1/2 C. Hiland Dairy butter
1/4 C. light brown sugar
2-1/4 tsp. (or one envelope) rapid-rise yeast
5-1/4 C. bread flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. salt

For the filling:
2/3 C. Hiland Dairy butter, softened
3/4 C. light brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt

For the frosting:
1 stick Hiland Dairy butter
1-1/2 C. powdered sugar
3 ounces Hiland Dairy cream cheese
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla paste
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 C. Hiland Dairy whole milk

For the milk mixture:
1/2 C. evaporated milk
1/2 C. sweetened condensed milk
1/3 C. Hiland Dairy whole milk

First, make the dough. In a saucepan, melt the butter into the milk and sugar over medium heat. Let it cool to about 100 degrees F. Gently stir in the yeast and let it sit until foamy.

In a large bowl, combine 5 C. of the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover and place in a warm spot for at least 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

While the dough rises, make the filling. Combine the softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar to form a spreadable paste. 

Remove the cover from the risen dough and mix in remaining flour. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the top. Roll the rectangle tightly, starting with one of the shorter edges. Slice the dough into 6 giant rolls or 9 smaller ones. 

Place the rolls in a lined and greased pan. Cover and let them rise again for 45 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

While the rolls rise, combine the ingredients for the tres leches mixture in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside. 

Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

Once out of the oven, pour the milk mixture over them. Allow to cool. 

Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter until pale, then add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the cream cheese, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth and creamy. 

Spread the frosting over the rolls and serve with a dusting of cinnamon and any leftover milk mixture.

Apple Butter Danish

Sweet and apple-y on the inside, flaky and buttery on the outside, this Apple Butter Danish is the difference between a good morning and a great one. The secret is Southern Roots Sisters Apple Butter, which you can swap with any of their delicious jams. Try their Cranberry Pepper Jam with toasted walnuts for a holiday twist, or use the Peach Pepper Jam with pecans and dried cranberries for a sweet-and-savory flavor.

  • Author: MIO Coalition

Ingredients

For the pastry: 
1 puff pastry, thawed
1/2 jar Southern Roots Sisters Apple Butter
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1 tsp. Griffin’s Vanilla
1 (8 ounce) package Hiland Dairy Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 C. toasted and chopped Miller Pecan Company Pecans
1/2 Tbsp. granulated or turbinado sugar
1 Equally Yolked Egg

For the icing: 
3/4 C. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. Braum’s Milk
1/4 tsp. Griffin’s Vanilla

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the thawed puff pastry on parchment paper and gently roll it out to a slightly larger rectangle. Place the pastry and parchment paper onto a baking sheet.

Make several 1-inch-wide slices along both long sides of the pastry, creating strips. Be sure to leave a solid, uncut strip in the center for the filling.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread an even layer of this mixture down the center strip of the pastry. Top with an even layer of Southern Roots Sisters Apple Butter, and then sprinkle with the toasted pecans.

To braid the pastry, fold one sliced strip at a time over the filling, alternating from one side to the other. Repeat this process down the length of the pastry to create a braided look. Once you’ve reached the end, be sure to pinch both ends of the pastry together to prevent any filling from spilling out during baking.

Whisk the egg with a fork and brush it over the top of the pastry. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of granulated or turbinado sugar.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Allow the danish to cool for 20 minutes. While it cools, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the icing. Once the danish has cooled, drizzle the icing over the top and serve.

Pecan Crusted French Toast with Bourbon Pecan Toffee Maple Syrup

Here’s the cozy, delicious holiday breakfast you’ve been looking for. A pecan coating makes this French toast crisp and delicious – and buttery – as it’s lightly pan fried in butter. The syrup is over-the-top delicious made with the incomparable Mollycoddled Hash Slinger Bourbon Pecan Toffee, which is melted down to make a candy-like syrup.

  • Author: Krush Digital

Ingredients

  1. 1 Loaf La Baguette rustic French bread, sliced
  2. 2 Hansen’s Eggs
  3. 2 cups Braum’s Half and Half
  4. 1 teaspoon Griffin’s Vanilla
  5. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 2 cups chopped Knight Pecan Farms Pecans
  7. 3/4 cup Braum’s Butter
  8. Syrup Ingredients
  9. 1/2 cup water
  10. 1 (6-ounce) box Mollycoddled Hash Slinger Bourbon Pecan Toffee
  11. 1/2 cup maple syrup

  1. Slice bread into 1-inch-thick slices.
  2. Whisk together eggs and half and half. Add vanilla and cinnamon. In a separate, shallow bowl place
    pecans. Dredge each slice of bread in egg mixture, then coat in pecans.
  3. In a nonstick pan, melt butter. Pan-fry bread in the butter until golden brown on both sides. Don’t
    melt all the butter all at once. Add more butter as needed while cooking the French toast.
  4. Keep French toast warm in a low oven while making the syrup.
  5. Heat water over medium heat in a small, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add entire box of toffee and heat
    to a rolling boil. Stir continuously until toffee is melted into the water, about 5-7 minutes. Keep heat at
    medium so that the toffee doesn’t burn.
  6. Add maple syrup. Stir until mixed. Reduce heat to medium-low or low, and simmer until syrup is
    thickened.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving but use while warm. Syrup will thicken as it cools and pours easier
    when warm.

Mini Frittatas

Mini Frittatas

There is a specific kind of peace that comes with knowing tomorrow morning is already taken care of. We’ve all been there—the alarm goes off a little too early, the coffee isn’t brewing fast enough, and the “morning rush” feels more like a sprint. In those moments, a generic granola bar just doesn’t cut it. You want something that feels like a real meal, something that tastes like it was made with intention, even if you’re eating it with one hand while grabbing your keys.

These Mini Frittatas are our answer to the busy morning. They aren’t just a convenience food. These hand-held breakfast bites are a tribute to the fresh, vibrant produce and protein found right here in our state. Whether you’re fueling up for a morning in the office or just trying to get the kids out the door with something nutritious, these muffins are a game-changer. They’re light, protein-packed, and burst with the flavors of Scissortail Farms greens and J-M Farms mushrooms.

 

Why you’ll love this recipe

When your schedule is packed but you refuse to sacrifice quality, this is the recipe you reach for. Here’s why we’re obsessed:

  • The ultimate meal prep. Spend 30 minutes on Sunday and you have a high-protein breakfast ready for the entire work week.
  • Completely customizable. Think of the egg base as a canvas. Go all-veggie, or load them up with savory Bar-S bacon.
  • Freshness you can taste. By using hydroponic greens and local eggs, you get a bright, clean flavor that frozen breakfast sandwiches can’t touch.
  • Oklahoma on a plate. This recipe highlights five different MIO members, supporting local families with every bite.

Ingredients

  • Equally Yolked Eggs. Based in Oklahoma, Equally Yolked Eggs provides high-quality, farm-fresh eggs that serve as the rich, golden foundation for these muffins.
  • Hiland Dairy Heavy Whipping Cream. A household name since 1938, Hiland Dairy delivers the creaminess that gives these egg cups their velvety, frittata-like texture.
  • The Spice Girl Kitchen Tri-Salt Blend. Based in Yukon, The Spice Girl Kitchen specializes in handcrafted, small-batch seasoning blends. Their Tri-Salt adds a complex savory depth that regular table salt just can’t match.
  • Scissortail Farms Basil, Spinach, and Chives. Scissortail Farms in Tulsa uses sustainable, aeroponic and hydroponic growing methods to produce greens that are incredibly fresh and nutrient-dense, delivered to Oklahoma stores within 24 hours of harvest.
  • J-M Farms Mushrooms. Family-owned and operated in Miami, Oklahoma, J-M Farms has been the region’s premier mushroom provider since 1979. Their mushrooms add an essential earthy, umami flavor to this dish.
  • Bar-S Bacon. With deep roots in Oklahoma, Bar-S provides the classic, smoky crunch that makes any breakfast feel complete.

This recipe’s must-haves

  • A jumbo muffin tin. Using a large or jumbo tin ensures your mini frittatas are substantial enough to keep you full until lunch.
  • Parchment baking cups. To ensure a clean release and easy cleanup, high-quality parchment liners are a must for egg-based baking.
  • A large balloon whisk. You want to incorporate plenty of air into your eggs and cream to keep the frittatas light and fluffy.
  • A sharp chef’s knife. Essential for finely chopping those fresh herbs and mushrooms.

 

How to make the Mini Frittatas

  • Prep your space. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your jumbo muffin tin with parchment cups. This is the secret to making sure your cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.
  • Whisk the base. In a large bowl, combine 12 eggs with the heavy cream and The Spice Girl Kitchen Tri-Salt Blend. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  • Fold in your add-ins. Stir in the chopped spinach and basil, the mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and the bacon. Fold in ¾ cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Fill and bake. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top for that perfect golden crust.
  • How to tell when they’re done. Bake for 20-25 minutes. You’re looking for the centers to be set and the tops to have a light, golden hue.
  • Garnish and cool. Sprinkle with fresh chives while the mini frittatas are still warm. If you’re eating them later, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing.

 

Pro Tips

  • Don’t overbake. Egg dishes continue to cook slightly after they come out of the oven. Pull them when the centers have just a tiny bit of jiggle left for the best texture.
  • Chop small. To ensure every bite has a bit of everything, chop your spinach, mushrooms, and peppers into small, uniform pieces.
  • Squeeze the spinach. If you are using frozen spinach as a substitute, make sure to squeeze out every drop of moisture so your muffins don’t come out soggy.
  • Room-temp eggs. For the most even bake, let your eggs sit on the counter for about 20 minutes before whisking.

 

Variations

  • The Spicy Okie: Add a tablespoon of diced jalapeños and swap the mozzarella for pepper jack cheese.
  • Garden Party: Double the spinach and add finely diced zucchini for a strictly vegetarian powerhouse.
  • The Meat-Lover: Use a mix of bacon and crumbled breakfast sausage for a heartier muffin.
  • Mediterranean Flare: Swap the basil for oregano and add a sprinkle of feta cheese and olives.

 

FAQs

  • How do I reheat these? Simply pop a muffin in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. They stay moist and delicious.
  • Can I freeze them? Yes! Once cooled, wrap each mini frittata individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Can I use milk instead of heavy cream? You can, but the heavy whipping cream provides a much richer, cafe-style texture that makes these feel special.
  • My muffins deflated, what happened? It’s natural for egg muffins to puff up in the oven and settle slightly as they cool. To minimize this, don’t over-whisk the eggs once the veggies are added.

What to serve with Mini Frittatas

While these are a complete meal on their own, these mini frittatas pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a slice of toasted bread. For the perfect morning duo, pour a large mug of locally roasted coffee—check out MIO members Neighbors Coffee, Topeca Coffee Roasters, Leap Coffee Roasters, and more. If you’re serving these for a weekend brunch, a glass of chilled Hiland Dairy Orange Juice is the classic choice.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Hiland Dairy Heavy Whipping Cream

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1/4 cup chopped Bar-S Bacon (optional)
1 tablespoon Scissortail Farms chives

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 6-count jumbo or large muffin tin with parchment baking cups.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper until combined. Add ¾ cup cheese, basil, spinach, mushrooms, red peppers and bacon (if using). Divide mixture among muffin cups, filling ¾ full. (You may have enough mixture to make additional frittatas.) Sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set and tops are lightly golden. Sprinkle with chives before serving.

Make-ahead note: Let the muffins cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in microwave for an easy breakfast.

Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

  |   By  |  0 Comments

Golden brown Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake in a Bundt shape, generously drizzled with vanilla glaze and made with Shawnee Mills flour and Miller Pecan Company pecans. Print

Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

What’s not to love about cake that you get to eat for breakfast? There is just something undeniable about the scent of cinnamon and caramelized sugar filling the kitchen on a slow morning. It’s a warm welcome, a centerpiece for brunch, and the perfect companion to a steaming cup of coffee. It’s proof that you don’t need a special occasion to treat yourself to something that looks like it came from a bakery case.

This recipe was born out of a love for that perfect “middle piece.” You know, the one loaded with crunchy pecans and a ribbon of cinnamon sweetness. While we can’t all be professional pastry chefs, this Bundt cake makes you look like one. It brings home the magic of a local bakery with ingredients from some of our favorite Oklahoma makers.

This Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake is the perfect canvas for your morning routine. It’s rich, tender, and made for lingering at the breakfast table with friends and family. It’s a sweet slice of Oklahoma and a testament to the quality ingredients produced right here in our backyard.

 

Why you’ll love this recipe

When you need a breakfast that doubles as a dessert (or vice versa), this is the one. Here’s why we’re obsessed:

  • The texture. The sour cream makes the crumb incredibly moist, while the pecans add that essential crunch.
  • Next-level flavor. It’s not just sweet. It has depth from the toasted pecans and pure vanilla.
  • Local love. It showcases the best dairy, flour, and nuts Oklahoma has to offer.
  • Crowd-pleaser. It looks impressive in a Bundt shape but is surprisingly easy to pull off in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

  • Braum’s Unsalted Butter, Sour Cream, and Milk. Braum’s is a family-owned business that has been dedicated to freshness since 1968. All Braum’s stores are within a 300-mile radius of their Tuttle farm, ensuring that their milk goes from the farm to the store in just 24-36 hours.
  • Shawnee Milling Company All-Purpose Flour. Shawnee Mills has grown into a family-owned company known for providing quality flour, cornmeal, and baking mixes. The Ford family, now in its third and fourth generations, continues this tradition.
  • Hansen’s Eggs. Eggs from Hansen’s are delivered to stores and restaurants within a day of being laid, taking “farm fresh” to a new level. They offer a range of sizes and grades.
  • Miller Pecan Company Pecans. Based in Afton, this third-generation family business processes pecans grown right here in Oklahoma. The fresh, buttery pecans from Miller Pecan Company are a game-changer for baking.
  • Griffin’s Vanilla. A staple from the Griffin Foods in Muskogee, this vanilla adds the aromatic depth that makes baked goods sing.

 

This recipe’s must-haves

  • A 10-cup Bundt pan is essential for this recipe. It gives the cake its beautiful shape and ensures even baking.
  • An electric mixer (stand or hand) will help you cream the butter and sugar until it’s perfectly light and fluffy.
  • A silicone spatula is your best friend for folding in those delicious Miller pecans without overmixing the batter.
  • A wire cooling rack allows air to circulate around the cake so the glaze sets up perfectly without getting the bottom soggy.

 

How to make the Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

  1. Prep your pan and oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. This initial blast of heat gives the cake a lift. Generously butter and flour your Bundt pan, or use a baking spray with flour. Don’t skip this step, because you want that beautiful cake to slide right out.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar. In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature Braum’s butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer. You’re looking for a light, fluffy texture, which usually takes 4-5 minutes. This incorporates air into your batter for a tender crumb. Add the Hansen’s eggs one at a time, letting each one fully blend in before cracking the next. Mix in the Griffin’s vanilla.
  3. Make the batter. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Shawnee Mills flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add this flour mixture to your butter mixture, alternating with the Braum’s sour cream. Mix until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix! Gently fold in the chopped Miller Pecan Co. pecans. Pour half of this batter into your prepared pan.
  4. Add the streusel layer. In a small bowl, combine the tablespoon of cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar magic over the batter in the pan. Drop the remaining batter in spoonfuls over the filling and gently spread with a spatula to cover. Pro tip: You can save a little cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on top if you like a bit of crunch.
  5. Bake it. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Glaze and serve. While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, Braum’s milk (start with 1 tablespoon), vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach that perfect drizzle consistency. Once the cake has cooled slightly but is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top.

 

Pro Tips

  • Room temp is best. Make sure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature before you start. This ensures they mix properly for a smooth batter, and it doesn’t take long—just 30-45 minutes on the counter.
  • Don’t overmix. When adding the flour, mix only until the white streaks disappear. Overmixing creates a tough cake, and we want this to be tender and melt-in-your-mouth.
  • Grease it good. Bundt pans can be tricky. Get into every nook and cranny with your butter and flour to ensure a clean release.
  • Toast your pecans. For an extra depth of flavor, lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding them to the batter.

 

Variations

  • Berry Burst: Fold in a cup of fresh blueberries or chopped strawberries into the batter for a fruity twist.
  • Cardamom Kick: Swap half the cinnamon for cardamom for a sophisticated, aromatic flavor profile.
  • Extra Nutty: Add a handful of chopped walnuts or toasted almonds to the streusel layer for added texture.
  • Maple Glaze: Substitute the milk in the glaze with maple syrup and a drop of maple extract for a fall-inspired finish.

 

FAQs

  • Why did my cake stick to the pan? This usually happens if the pan wasn’t greased thoroughly enough or if the cake cooled completely in the pan. Try to flip it out while it’s still slightly warm.
  • Can I freeze this cake? Absolutely! This cake freezes beautifully. Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for a quick breakfast treat later.
  • Can I substitute the sour cream? Yes, plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream. It provides the same acidity and moisture.
  • How do I know when it’s done? Every oven is different. Start checking around the 35-minute mark, after lowering the temp. A toothpick should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

 

What to serve with Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

This cake is the star of the show, but it loves company. We recommend serving it with a hot cup of locally roasted coffee from Neighbors Coffee or Leap Coffee Roasters to balance the sweetness. For a full brunch spread, pair it with savory options like scrambled Hansen’s eggs or crispy bacon from Bar-S.
