Description

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup brown rice syrup or light corn syrup
• 1 cup chopped fresh cranberries (see Tips)
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 1 cup white whole-wheat flour (see Tips)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1 cup cold buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, brown rice syrup (or corn syrup), cranberries, pecans and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Divide among the muffin cups, spreading about 1 tablespoon in the bottom of each. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and the remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Add cold butter and, using two knives (or your fingertips), cut (or crumble) the butter until it's the size of small peas. Drizzle with buttermilk and oil; stir just until combined. Spoon the batter on top of the cranberry mixture, using about 2 tablespoons for each. Bake rolls until lightly brown around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each to loosen. Place a large serving tray over the pan and invert the rolls onto it. Spoon any topping left in the pan onto the rolls. Serve warm.
