Easy Vegan Cinnamon Palmiers

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.

• puff pastry - many available frozen puff pastry sheets are vegan or you can make this homemade vegan puff pastry.
• cinnamon

Step By Step Instructions

If using frozen puff pastry, let it thaw per the package directions. Then roll out to a 12" x 8" rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper.

Then sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the pastry.

Then sprinkle all over with cinnamon.

Start rolling the pastry towards the center stopping at the halfway point.

Then start rolling from the other side until they meet in the middle.

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.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring a cooling rack.
