These delightful cinnamon swirl bites are a quick and easy treat, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into rectangles by pressing the perforations together.
Use a rolling pin to smooth out the dough if needed.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans to create the filling.
Mix until the filling is well combined and spreadable.
Spread the filling evenly over each rectangle of dough.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor.
Roll up each rectangle tightly from the long side to form a log.
Roll gently but firmly to keep the filling inside.
Cut each log into 6 equal slices using a sharp knife.
Chill the logs in the freezer for 10 minutes for easier slicing.
Place the slices cut side up in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
Leave some space between rolls to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the rolls towards the end of baking to prevent overbrowning.
While the rolls bake, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl to make the glaze.
Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Drizzle the glaze while the rolls are warm for better absorption.
