Honey Cinnamon Roll-Ups – Flaky phyllo wrapped around spiced nuts, baked golden, and drizzled with honey! Irresistibly crisp, sweet, and perfect for brunch or dessert

Ingredients

Scale

6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
½ cup crushed walnuts or pecans
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup honey, warmed for drizzling

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Make the Cinnamon Nut Filling

In a small bowl, mix:

½ cup crushed walnuts or pecans
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

3. Layer and Butter the Phyllo

Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface.
Brush lightly with melted butter.
Add another sheet on top and repeat until you’ve stacked three sheets, brushing each one.

4. Add Filling & Roll

Sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon-nut mixture evenly over the top.
Gently roll the sheet stack into a tight log.
Place seam-side down on the lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining sheets to create two logs total.

5. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

6. Finish with Honey

Remove from oven and immediately drizzle each roll with warm honey. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make sure to fully thaw your phyllo dough before use (overnight in the fridge works best).
Don’t overfill—too much filling can tear the delicate dough.
These roll-ups are perfect for holiday trays, brunch spreads, or a quick gourmet dessert with a Mediterranean flair.
