    These vegan cinnamon palmiers are easy to make and smell heavenly. Flaky puff pastry is sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and then baked to crispy sweet perfection.

    If cinnamon isn't your jam then try these vegan raspberry palmiers instead.

    Thought to have originated in France, the word Palmier translates to palm tree. They are sometimes also called elephant's ear or couer de France (heart of France), but many cultures have a similar pastry that go by different names.

    Wrap the rolled up pastry in the parchment and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to cut.

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

    Then remove from the roll from the freezer and cut into ¼" pieces.

    Place the parchment paper and cut pastries on a baking sheet and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is puff pastry vegan?

    Many puff pastry brands are in fact vegan. Check the label, but Pepperidge Farm and other brands use oil instead of butter.

    Can I use different filling ingredients?

    Definitely. Try chocolate with hazelnuts or vegan cream cheese and strawberry jam. Get creative with it or keep it simple.

    Storing and Freezing

    These vegan cinnamon palmiers keep well in an airtight container on the counter for a few days.

    I have not attempted to freeze these.
