These pastries are like flaky, marshmallow cinnamon rolls. In other words, they're edible perfection.

Ingredients

1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 8.25-oz sheets puff pastry, thawed
10 marshmallows
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. In a second bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 1 ⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar mixture onto a clean work surface and place 1 sheet of puff pastry on top. Sprinkle with another tablespoon of the granulated sugar mixture. Using a rolling pin, roll over the pastry once to help the sugar stick. Cut the pastry into 5 equal strips. Repeat with the remaining sheet of dough (you’ll have a little bit of the granulated sugar mixture left over).
Working with 1 strip of dough at a time, dip a marshmallow in the butter, then coat in the brown sugar mixture. Place on one end of the pastry strip and roll up. Pinch the pastry together on one end to create a seam, covering the marshmallow. Repeat with the remaining strips.
Place the rolls, seam-side down, in the holes of a nonstick muffin pan and bake until golden brown and puffed, 30 to 35 minutes. Immediately remove the sugar buns from the pan and transfer to a serving dish or wire rack (for easiest cleanup, remove any melted marshmallow on the pan while it’s still warm).

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
