Deliciously sweet and nutty Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, drizzled with a creamy glaze, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  2. Mix well to combine and gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.

  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
