Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 cup vanilla coffee creamer or flavor of choice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed (this allows the butter to melt faster)
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted, roasted pecans chopped
- 2 (17.5 oz) cans Pillsbury Grands Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls With Cream Cheese Icing each can should contain 5 rolls

Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a glass 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Place creamer and butter into a medium sized microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-60 second intervals until the butter has melted.
Whisk in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined, then pour the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle on the pecans, then place the cinnamon rolls in a single layer on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until cooked through (the cinnamon roll interiors should be about 190 degrees F).
Remove from oven and let the rolls sit in the pan for 3 minutes.
Place a rimmed baking sheet or other heatproof tray upside down onto pan then flip.
Let baking dish remain upside down for 1 minute or so to allow the cinnamon sugar mixture to drizzle over rolls.
Remove the baking dish, then allow the rolls to cool for an additional 5-10 minutes before frosting and serving warm!
Frosting
Place the canned frosting into a medium sized bowl, then add in sour cream, salt, and powdered sugar.
Use a hand mixer to mix until smooth, then frost the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
