Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a Bundt pan.
- Drop in the frozen dinner rolls.
- Sprinkle with butterscotch pudding.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, nuts, and melted oleo together.
- Drizzle the mixture over the rolls.
- Cover with a towel and set overnight.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a flavored pudding mix like vanilla or caramel instead of butterscotch. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter is a great substitute. For a nut-free version, you can simply omit the nuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Make sure to cover the rolls tightly overnight to prevent them from drying out.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast rolls are best served warm, drizzled with a bit more melted oleo or your favorite syrup. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light yogurt for a balanced breakfast. Consider serving them alongside a hearty dish like Asparagus Strata for a delightful brunch spread that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, wrap individual rolls in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps to maintain their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of frozen rolls?
Yes, you can use any frozen dinner rolls you prefer, but make sure they are not pre-baked. Adjust the baking time if the rolls you choose are larger or smaller than Dakota Heath's. Just keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overcook.
Can I prepare these rolls the night before?
Absolutely! In fact, letting them sit overnight allows the flavors to meld and makes for a more flavorful bun. Just follow the instructions, cover them well, and bake them in the morning for a delicious and easy breakfast treat.
What can I do if I don't have butterscotch pudding?
If you don't have butterscotch pudding, you can substitute with vanilla or caramel pudding. Alternatively, you can mix a little brown sugar and vanilla extract to mimic the flavor. This will still give you a sweet and delightful topping for your rolls.
