Can I add other fillings to the knots?

Absolutely! While these knots are delicious on their own, you can add any filling you like. Try Nutella, fruit preserves, or even vegan chocolate chips for a fun variation. Just be sure not to overstuff the knots, or they might not hold their shape while baking.

Can I use a different brand of puff pastry?

Yes, as long as the puff pastry is vegan, you can use any brand you prefer. Just be sure to follow the defrosting instructions, as some brands may require different thawing times. Popular vegan puff pastry brands include Pepperidge Farm, but you can also make your own if you’re up for a challenge!

How do I store these cinnamon sugar knots?

For the best texture, store your cinnamon knots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, store them in the fridge and reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.

Instructions

Defrost the puff pastry according to package instructions, about 40 minutes at room temperature.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and brush with 1½ tablespoons of melted vegan butter.
Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the buttered pastry.
Fold the pastry in half and cut it into 8 strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Twist each strip and roll into a spiral shape, tucking the ends under to form knots.
Place the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of melted vegan butter.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden and flaky.
While the knots cool for 1-2 minutes, mix ¼ cup sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon for coating.
Coat the knots in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure the puff pastry is cold but pliable when working with it for best results.
Feel free to experiment with other fillings such as chocolate or fruit preserves inside the knots.
These knots are best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
If reheating, microwave for 10-15 seconds to keep them soft.
