If you’re looking for a new snack and happen to be a peanut butter lover, you’ll love these peanut butter rolls. Don’t confuse them with other old-fashioned peanut butter pinwheels you might have seen online. There is an old-fashioned candy by the same name, often made during the holiday season.
Instead of a sugary, sweet, peanut butter fudge-like texture that melts in your mouth, these peanut butter rolls have a flavorful, yeasty bread roll filled with peanut butter. And best of all, you can have them any time of the year!
They’re easy to make, and just need a quick fry in the pan (no oven necessary). It’s perfect for those times when you have a peanut butter craving, but don’t feel like the same old peanut butter sandwich.
Peanut Butter Pinwheels Ingredients
Milk – use either full-fat or low-fat milk. Dairy-free milk will also work.
Sugar – use granulated sugar (not powdered sugar).
Dry yeast – use active yeast (check the expiry date to make sure it’s still fresh).
Butter – unsalted or salted, it won’t affect the recipe.
Peanut butter – use smooth peanut butter for best results.
Flour – use all-purpose flour.

Tips For Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pinwheels
You can eat the Peanut Butter Rolls on their own, or dust with powdered sugar. Alternatively, drizzle with a peanut butter icing glaze. To make a glaze, mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter, and ¼ cup espresso.
To make a softer, fluffier dough, you can use mashed potatoes in the dough. Mix together ¼ cup warm water, 1 cup warm milk, 1 packet of yeast, ¼ cup sugar, 1 egg, ½ cup mashed potatoes, ¼ cup melted butter, 4 cups flour.
Like the idea of peanut butter pinwheels, but don’t feel cooking rolls? Make a sweet, no-bake version. For the dough, mix together ½ cup mashed potatoes, ½ cup softened butter, 6 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Roll out the dough, fill the peanut butter, roll into a log. Refrigerate, then slice.
Serve the peanut butter rolls for a quick snack or with coffee or tea.
How To Store Peanut Butter Rolls
Store the peanut butter rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze them on the same day you made them for optimal freshness. Allow to cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months.
