Breakfast Monkey-Bread Rolls

Category: Sweet breads

Ingredients
1/2 of a 36.5-oz. pkg. frozen cinnamon sweet roll dough (6 rolls)
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 Tbsp. maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions
1. Place frozen rolls about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover rolls with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight to let dough thaw and begin to rise*.

2. Generously grease twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups or coat with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until combined. Divide mixture among muffin cups. Sprinkle pecans into cups. Set aside.

3. Cut each roll into 4 pieces. Place two roll pieces in each prepared muffin cup, pressing together lightly.

4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups on wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert onto a large platter. Serve warm drizzled with frosting from roll package, if you like.
Makes 12 rolls.
