Description

Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls enhanced with a rich nut mixture and a luscious syrup glaze. These cinnamon rolls combine classic flavors of cinnamon, brown sugar, honey, and cream with crunchy walnuts and pistachios for an irresistible treat perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Syrup and Filling

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup pistachios (chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dough

  • 2 cans canned cinnamon rolls

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the cinnamon rolls.
  2. Prepare Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Nut Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Fill Cinnamon Rolls: Unroll each canned cinnamon roll and evenly spoon the nut mixture over the dough. Roll the dough back up carefully to enclose the filling.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish. Pour half of the prepared syrup into the bottom of the dish.
  6. Layer Rolls: Place the filled cinnamon rolls on top of the syrup in the baking dish. Drizzle the remaining syrup over the rolls and sprinkle the remaining nut mixture on top for extra flavor and crunch.
  7. Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until they are golden brown and fluffy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cinnamon rolls stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
  9. Store: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use canned cinnamon rolls for convenience, but homemade dough can be substituted if preferred.
  • Allow the syrup to cool slightly before pouring over rolls to avoid melting the dough.
  • Ensure nuts are chopped evenly for consistent texture.
  • Serving warm enhances the flavor and texture of the cinnamon rolls.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
