Ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry sheet if using frozen, thaw before using
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter  melted
  • ¼ cup Raw Pecans Coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup Raisins
  • ¼ cup Light or dark brown sugar or use coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 1 Egg beaten

For the glaze

  • ½ cup icing sugar powdered sugar or confectioners' sugar
  • ½ tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350 F (180 C)
  • Mix together the cinnamon powder and the brown sugar in a bowl and keep aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the pecans and raisins and keep aside.
  • Lay out the puff pastry sheet (thaw if using frozen) on a lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the top of the puff pastry sheet with the beaten egg. This will help to keep the filling intact.
  • Sprinkle the pecans and raisins evenly over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Roll the puff pastry sheet into a tight log. Brush over with melted butter.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut up the puff pastry log into equal sections, each around 1.5 inches long.
  • Place each cut-up section of the rolled-up log, swirl-side-up, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let the puff pastry cinnamon rolls cool while you prepare the glaze topping.

Prepare the glaze

  • To prepare the glaze, sift the powdered sugar into a bowl.
  • Add a little milk - starting with a tablespoon, then add a little more drops of milk, until you reach the desired thick, pourable glaze consistency.
  • Add the vanilla and mix it into the glaze.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the sugar glaze over the cooled cinnamon rolls, and serve.

Notes

  1. To make vegan cinnamon rolls, use vegan puff-pastry sheets and substitute the milk with any non-dairy milk of your choice.
  2. You can also try various savory fillings with this recipe.
  3. Make ahead, by preparing the rolls and refrigerating them a day before baking.
