To make a Cinnabon Caramel Pecanbon, start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need brown sugar, unsalted butter, honey, toasted pecans, and a can of reduced-fat buttermilk biscuits. For the glaze, have confectioners sugar and low-fat milk ready.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, butter, honey, and a tablespoon of water over medium heat until smooth. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch round cake pan and sprinkle the chopped pecans over it.
Next, place the biscuits on top of the pecans, making sure they touch each other. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Brush each biscuit with melted butter and then sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over them. Bake for 20 minutes or until the biscuit tops are golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately invert onto a wire rack with foil underneath to catch any drips. Let them cool slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners sugar and low-fat milk to make the glaze. Drizzle this over the warm rolls.
