Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Rolls
- 1 package (16 ounces) refrigerated sweet roll dough (like cinnamon rolls)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- Icing from the roll package or homemade glaze (powdered sugar and milk)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a round or square baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated sweet roll dough and separate the individual rolls gently.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly.
- Brush Rolls: Brush the butter mixture over each separated roll evenly to add flavor and moisture.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded coconut, toffee bits, and chopped nuts (if using) evenly over each roll, then gently press the toppings into the dough to adhere well.
- Re-roll and Arrange: Carefully roll the dough back up, maintaining the toppings inside, and place the rolls snugly in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Glaze: Let the rolls cool slightly after baking. Drizzle the rolls with the included icing from the package or a simple homemade glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet finish.
Notes
- For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding it to the rolls.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the microwave for a quick and comforting treat.
