Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Directions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine 2 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 cup coconut sugar.

2. 2

   Add in 3/4 cup warm milk, 3 tbsp melted butter and 1 egg. Mix that together till a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Transfer to a flat surface and knead for 5 minutes until you have a smooth dough. Place back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for ONLY 10 minutes.

4. 4

   In the meantime, combine 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp all purpose flour in a small bowl.

5. 5

   Roll your dough out into a 1/2 inch - 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Spread 3 tbsp softened (almost melted) butter in a thin layer, then top with that maple cinnamon mixture.

6. 6

   Roll into cinnamon rolls tightly from the long side. Once rolled, cut into 8-10 pieces. Place into a buttered baking dish, cover and allow to rise for 1 - 1/2 hours.

7. 7

   Once risen, bake at 375 for about 24 minutes. Finish off with some cream cheese frosting (I make mine by combining 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tsp milk and 2 tbsp maple syrup) and enjoy!!
