👩🍳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!

The topping goes into the pan first with the cinnamon rolls on top. Once they're baked, the pan is inverted onto a plate to flip them out of the hot pan with the pecan topping on top then.
You can proof canned cinnamon rolls simply by covering the rolls with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let them sit in a warm, draft-free area for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until they have doubled in size.
