  • 1/3 Cup Frozen Cherries (thawed to room temperature, separate from the 1 Cup)
  • 1-2 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Honey (to taste)

  • 1/2 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

  • Prepare the rolls. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper. 
  • Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles on work surface. Firmly press edges together to seal and holes. 
  • Brush with butter, leaving about 1/2 inch on 1 of the long edges of each rectangle of dough without butter. Make sure this edge stays clean so the dough will seal. 
  • Spread the prepared Cherry Chia Seed Jam over the melted butter on dough. 
  • Roll dough up tightly, and seal edge. 
  • Using serrated knife, cut each dough roll into 16 equal slices. 
  • Place slices cut side down 3 inches apart on cookie sheet.
