Recipe Notes

• Try to use a non-stick pan when baking is recipe. If you can't, spray the pan with a non-stick baking spray. You don't want the rolls to stick to the pan!
• Let the rolls cool slightly before flipping the pan over and removing them. It can be tempting to dig into your cinnamon rolls as soon as they come out of the oven, but letting them cool for a few minutes will help them set and become easier to handle.
• Sticky pecan cinnamon rolls are best served warm!
