Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup icing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough can. Carefully unroll the entire sheet of dough on a clean, lightly floured surface.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform filling mixture.
- Sprinkle the pecan-brown sugar mixture evenly across the entire surface of the unrolled dough, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
- Scatter butterscotch chips uniformly over the pecan and brown sugar layer, distributing them as evenly as possible.
- Carefully roll the dough back into a tight log, starting from the longer side, pressing gently to ensure the filling stays intact.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal-sized cinnamon rolls, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the sliced rolls in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll to allow for expansion during baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-7 minutes. If desired, drizzle the included icing over the warm rolls before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Butterscotch Pecan Cinnamon Rolls!
Tips
- Use refrigerated cinnamon roll dough for a shortcut, but ensure it's at room temperature for easier unrolling.
- For maximum flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty profile.
- When rolling the dough, press gently but firmly to keep the filling evenly distributed.
- Use a sharp, serrated knife for clean, even cuts when slicing the rolls.
- Check the rolls at 20 minutes to prevent over-browning, as ovens can vary.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before icing to prevent the frosting from melting completely.
- For extra indulgence, warm the rolls slightly before serving to revive their fresh-baked texture.
