2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Sugar In The Raw®, divided

1/4 cup Stevia In The Raw®

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2% milk, divided

1 teaspoon vanilla

12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans

 

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons Sugar In The Raw®, 2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw®, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers, work butter into flour until crumbly. Stir in ¾ cup milk and vanilla until dough comes together. Chill 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, ¼ cup Sugar In The Raw®, and 2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw®. Cook over medium-high heat until cranberries burst and mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface & roll out into a 16×12” rectangle. Spread cranberry mixture evenly over dough. With the long edge facing you, roll dough up tightly. Cut crosswise into 9 rolls, place in buttered 8” round or square baking pan. Bake until browned, about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk to combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth, and drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle with pecans and serve warm.
