Instructions

Activate the yeast by sprinkling it over warm water, dissolving with sugar, and letting it rest for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add half the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Add softened butter one tablespoon at a time, then incorporate the rest of the flour and the cereal.
Knead the dough on medium speed for 2 minutes until it's smooth. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to create a paste. Set aside.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to a 20×14-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough and cut into 12 strips.
Sprinkle cereal over the filling and roll the dough tightly from one edge. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
Cover the rolls and let them rise in a warm area for 30-40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Bake the rolls for 28-30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 185°F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before frosting.
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then mix in vanilla, salt, and confectioners' sugar. Spread frosting over warm rolls and garnish with additional cereal.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar in the filling.
Ensure the yeast is active for best results before mixing with the other ingredients.
Feel free to top the rolls with extra cereal for added crunch.
