Once you’ve tasted these fresh out of the oven pecan and cinnamon whirls with cinnamon drizzle you won’t want anything else for breakfast ever again!

Fresh hot pastries out of the oven are heavenly but sometimes the faff of baking first thing in the morning can be too much, that’s where ready made pastry comes into its own. No one will ever know, these pecan and cinnamon whirls still taste a-ma-zing and they take just a couple of minutes prep and then a few minutes in the oven.

The sugar in this recipe caramelises the pecans and the combination of cinnamon is a huge hit. These whirls lasted all of about five seconds! You don’t have to ice them…they are sweet already but it finishes them off perfectly and if you make the icing thin enough you can do this almost five minutes after getting them out of the oven and it sets really quickly so the pecan and cinnamon whirls will still be warm and fresh. Mmmmm…

For a faster recipe, prepare the sugar, cinnamon and nut mixture the night before, you’ll save a few minutes of time meaning those pastries will be ready to pop in the mouth even quicker!

So, when you want a really quick and simple but oh so tasty and sweet breakfast these pecan and cinnamon whirls are just the recipe you need.
