Ingredients
- 12 tablespoon 1- 1/2 stick- 6 ounces Butter, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup (2.30 ounces) light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cups pecans lightly chopped
- 1 package 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted overnight
For the Filling
- 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) butter, melted and cooled
- 2/3 cup 4.6 ounces light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees.
- Using a spatula (or a spoon) mix the 12 tablespoons of butter and 1/3-cup light brown sugar in a bowl until thoroughly combined. (You can use a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment but since the butter is at room temperature, it is easy to mix with a spoon or a spatula.)
- Place 1 tablespoon of the butter and sugar mixture on each muffin cup. Distribute pecans evenly on top of the mixture. Set aside.
- Mix 2/3-cup light brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Unfold a pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Brush it with half of the melted butter. Leaving 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle it with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, and 1/2 cup of the raisins.
- Repeat the same process for the second puff pastry sheet.
- Place each piece, spiral side up, in muffin cups on top of the brown sugar & butter mixture, and pecans.
- Bake them for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes and invert them onto a parchment paper.
- Serve immediately.
