Secret Recipe Club: Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

It's time for Secret Recipe Club once again :) For those who haven't heard of Secret Recipe Club, it's a large group of bloggers who each month are assigned another SRC member's blog secretly, make a recipe from their blog, and post it for reveal day. It's so much fun to see who got your blog and what recipe they decided to make. If you are interested in joining, go check out this page and get put on the waiting list! This month, my group welcomes a newbie: Wendy from A Day in the Life on the Farm.

This month I was assigned to Amy of Fearless Homemaker. Amy is seriously just adorable and I love the overall look of her blog entirely too much. AND she lives in Tennessee! Not to mention we have yet another smarty pants in Group D - Amy has a Masters degree in positive psychology. I'm so happy to have such an inspiring and amazing group of ladies!! It always excites me when I find out there is yet another amazing woman in the group!

It was the first month I utilized my secret board for Secret Recipe Club and let me tell you what, it was getting filled up with stuff from Amy's blog!! I seriously had such a hard time picking just one thing. It was between One Pot Tomato, Basil, & Chicken Pasta, M&M Cookie Bars, Homemade Flour Tortillas, Perfect Buttermilk Biscuits, and Bacon & Kale Quinoa Fried Rice.

And I went with Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze which is a Pioneer Woman recipe that Amy adapted - SCORE! But I adapted it ever so slightly from Amy's adaption because she was talking about doing caramel bacon glaze next time she made them and I had some bacon bits on hand. Unfortunately no caramel bits though....so my adaption means they are Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

These are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had and the maple complimented them perfectly. My adaptation was just mixing in some bacon bits into the glaze. Not that weird crunchy ones, but the REAL bacon bits. Like Amy, I would like to try them with a caramel bacon glaze :)
