Sweet, sticky, and cinnamon-spiced buns with a luscious butterscotch glaze, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings, appealing to those who love warm, comforting baked goods.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the brown sugar, butterscotch pudding, and cinnamon.
- Place the frozen yeast rolls in a buttered Bundt pan.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the rolls, then pour melted butter on top.
- Cover the pan with a dish towel and let sit overnight.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 30 minutes.
- Turn the pan over immediately after baking to release the buns.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the sugar mixture before pouring it over the rolls. If you can't find butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding works as a substitute, though it will alter the flavor slightly. Ensure the yeast rolls are completely thawed before using for best texture. If you're short on time, you can let them rise for just a few hours instead of overnight.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky buns are perfect for brunch or as a sweet treat for breakfast. Pair them with fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for a delightful start to your day. They also complement savory dishes like scrambled eggs or a hearty breakfast casserole. For an extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with whipped cream on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warm. Be sure to cover them with foil to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pudding for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute butterscotch pudding with vanilla or caramel pudding. However, this will change the flavor profile of the sticky buns slightly. If you prefer a more intense flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the melted butter.
How do I know when the sticky buns are done baking?
The sticky buns are done when they are golden brown and have risen well. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep in mind that baking times can vary, so check on them a few minutes before the recommended time to avoid over-baking.
Can I prepare these sticky buns ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the buns in the Bundt pan, cover them, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This allows them to rise properly and ensures you have warm, fresh sticky buns ready to enjoy.
