Bake Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Favorite Cinnamon Rolls for Super Bowl Brunch

If you’re like us, you can’t help following Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance, especially when it involves their love of food. We know Swift is a talented baker who loves to whip up cookies, cakes, and whoopie pies at home. and baked up some pre-game cinnamon rolls for her favorite player.

Swift and Kelce both love one cinnamon roll in particular — from at Rye, a favorite spot of Kelce’s in Leawood, Kansas. Rye pastry chef and co-owner Megan Garrelts says Kelce regularly orders these rolls whenever he stops into the restaurant, so she wasn’t surprised when Swift got some to go after a recent dinner the singer enjoyed at the restaurant with Brittany Mahomes and a few other wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players . Garrelts spent years perfecting these cinnamon rolls, so it’s no wonder Kelce is such a fan.

You can make Garrelts’ original Glazed Cinnamon Rolls with Pecan Swirls at home — here's the recipe. 

At the restaurant, Garrelts will bake and serve these cinnamon rolls straight from mini cast-iron skillets, but she modified her recipe for F&W so home cooks can bake up a batch without any special equipment. The sweet dough is wrapped around a filling of toasted pecans, cinnamon, brown sugar, and sour cream, then baked and topped with a buttery sugar glaze while still warm. The recipe Garrelts shared with us makes 24 cinnamon rolls; she notes that you can keep unbaked rolls in the freezer for up to a month, and then pull them out for your own pre-game brunch party. Which means you can bake some this weekend, and still have a batch in the freezer, ready for breakfast on Super Bowl Sunday. Each bite is tender, sweet, and full of nutty surprises — just like love and football, even if you’re not dating anyone playing in the game that day.
