Cinnamon Almond Pastry Swirls Are a Decadent Breakfast Treat
If you like cinnamon buns (and who doesn’t?), then you’ll love these Cinnamon Almond Pastry Swirls. Made with sweet brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, these swirls are the perfect pastry to serve as a decadent treat for breakfast or brunch. Plus, they’re fun to roll up and slice, making this an ideal activity for you and the grandkids to do together — they can be your little “rollers” while you handle the slicing. And if you have leftovers, just pop them in the fridge to reheat for later; these sticky buns are good for up to three days.
