Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
6-1/2 teaspoons half-and-half cream
4-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, egg, salt and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Roll into an 18x12-in. rectangle; spread with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
4. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side down in a 13x9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
5. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. For icing, in a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, cream and butter until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
