Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 cup diced honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nonstick spray for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Separate the cinnamon rolls from the can and cut each roll into quarters to ensure even pieces for the bread.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced honeydew melon, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Toss Cinnamon Rolls: Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the bowl and gently toss them with the honeydew mixture until all pieces are evenly coated with the spices and butter mixture.
- Fill Loaf Pan: Transfer the coated cinnamon roll pieces and honeydew mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading them out evenly to create a uniform bake.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. After cooling slightly, drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the top. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- This recipe is a creative combination of cinnamon rolls and fresh honeydew, offering a fruity and gooey flavor profile.
- Use ripe but firm honeydew melon to prevent excess moisture, which can affect the texture of the bread.
- For extra richness, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts, or substitute the icing with a cream cheese glaze.
