Easy Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

 These are a new treasure at our house, warm rolls filled with brown sugar and cinnamon and topped with gooey caramel sauce and chopped pecans!  I am always looking for recipes for breakfast that I can make the night before to help with the morning rush.  Simple to make using frozen bread dough and yummy to eat.  My family likes a lot of caramel on their rolls so I double the heavy cream and powdered sugar mixture to give it the extra goo my family loves.   Enjoy!

Ingredients

· 1¼ cups powdered sugar

· 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

· 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped

· 1/2 cup brown sugar

· 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

· 2 frozen white bread dough loaves thawed

· 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

1. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. It will be a thick paste, which is normal.

Spread into the baking dish using a spoon or spatula.

3. Sprinkle pecans over top.

4. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl, set aside.

5. On a surface, sprayed with cooking spray & lightly floured, roll out 1 loaf into a rectangle [roughly the same size as the 9x13 pan]. Pour half of the butter onto the dough and spread it out. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the butter.

* You may need to let the thawed dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it softer and easier to roll out.

6. Roll up the dough [roll up from the longer side of the rectangle shape, not the shorter sides] and cut dough roll into 8 pieces.

Place each piece in the pan on top of the pecans. Do 4 rows of 4 cinnamon rolls in each row.

7. Repeat with the 2nd loaf of bread.

8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray [the part of the plastic wrap that touches the rolls].

9. Leave in fridge overnight. In the morning, let the baking dish sit out, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour.

10. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

11. Let the baking dish cool for 5 minutes.

12. Carefully take your pan and turn it upside down, over a serving platter or cutting board, and serve warm.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
