Ingredients

For the sauce:
1/2 cup brown sugar packed into cup firmly
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds chopped finely
2 teaspoons water
For the buns:
12 pieces whole wheat bread
8 eggs
3 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons vanilla
dash of nutmeg optional
1/2 cup Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds chopped finely
1/4 cup butter small diced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small saucepan heat brown sugar, butter, honey, and almonds until melted. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time to loosen sauce (can add additional if needed). Boil while whisking constantly for 2 minutes.
3. Line cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners (use foil liners if you don't want to have to clean up the pan as much, the sauce will leak through paper liners) or spray thoroughly with nonstick spray.
4. Reserving half the sauce for topping the cups, spoon in the sauce to the bottom of liners.
5. Cut crusts off of bread and slice in half lengthwise.
6. Whisk eggs with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg (optional). Arrange cupcake pan, almonds and butter for easy access for assembly.
7. Dip 2 slices of bread (2 "slices" equal 1 full piece of bread) into egg mixture and place on cutting board. Top each slice with almonds and 2 small dices of butter. Roll the first slice into a tight coil. Then wrap the second slice around the coil and transfer to the cupcake pan. Repeat with all remaining slices.
8. Bake for 15 minutes.
9. Top with remaining sauce and serve warm.
