  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 18 frozen dinner rolls
  • 1/2 cup melted margarine
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 box butterscotch pudding (not instant)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  2. Arrange the frozen dinner rolls in the prepared pan.
  3. Pour melted margarine evenly over the rolls.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
  5. Sprinkle the box of butterscotch pudding over the rolls.
  6. Sprinkle brown sugar on top.
  7. Cover the pan with waxed paper and let it set overnight.
  8. In the morning, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a nut-free version, you can substitute the chopped nuts with sunflower seeds or omit them entirely. If you prefer a different flavor, try using vanilla pudding instead of butterscotch. Make sure to use frozen dinner rolls that are not pre-baked. For a more decadent touch, consider drizzling some maple syrup over the top before baking. This dish can be made ahead of time, making it perfect for busy mornings.

Serving Suggestions

These Breakfast Pull Aparts are delightful served warm, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt. They also pair beautifully with coffee or tea for a cozy brunch. For a complete breakfast, serve alongside scrambled eggs or a refreshing Lackey Reunion Salad for a balance of flavors and textures.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pull-aparts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. If you prefer a softer texture, you can also microwave individual portions for 20-30 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade dinner rolls instead of frozen?

Yes, you can use homemade dinner rolls, but ensure they are slightly undercooked so they can rise and bake properly in the Bundt pan. Allow them to thaw and rise a bit before assembling the recipe, otherwise, you may need to adjust the baking time.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the frozen dinner rolls with gluten-free dinner rolls available in stores. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the butterscotch pudding and brown sugar, are certified gluten-free.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, to make this recipe vegan, use a plant-based margarine instead of regular margarine and ensure the dinner rolls are also vegan. Substitute the butterscotch pudding with a vegan-friendly version if available.
