Servings: 12 sticky buns
Calories: 493kcal
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
- 12 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup macadamia nuts chopped
Filling
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a muffin pan with baking spray.
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy. Divide evenly between the cups of the muffin pan. It should be about 1 ½ tablespoons per cup. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped macadamia nuts in each cup.
- Unfold 1 of the pastry sheets and brush with half of the melted butter. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar and cinnamon, leaving a 1-inch border around one long edge.
- Roll up into a snug log with the seam side down, then slice into 6 equal-sized pieces. Place in the prepared muffin cups on top of the macadamia nuts.
- Repeat with the remaining puff pastry dough and filling ingredients.
- Bake for 26-30 minutes on a baking sheet to catch any spillover that might bubble up, until the sticky buns are browned on top. Wait five minutes before turning out onto a piece of parchment paper.
