Butterscotch Breakfast Rolls
Sweet and indulgent breakfast rolls featuring butterscotch flavor, brown sugar, and nuts, perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place 20 to 24 frozen dinner rolls in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Sprinkle dry butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, chopped nuts over the rolls.
- Pour melted oleo (butter) evenly over the mixture.
- Cover the pan with foil.
- Place in a cool oven overnight.
- In the morning, bake about 20 minutes at 375°F.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using a flavored butter or adding cinnamon to the brown sugar mixture. If you prefer a nut-free option, you can substitute chopped nuts with oats or omit them entirely. For a twist, try using vanilla pudding instead of butterscotch for a different taste. Ensure the rolls are evenly spaced in the pan for consistent baking.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be served with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. They pair beautifully with a glass of Ethan'S Orange Juice Shake for a refreshing breakfast. Consider offering alongside fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover butterscotch breakfast rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual rolls for about 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh dinner rolls instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh dinner rolls, but the texture may differ slightly. If using fresh, reduce the rise time before baking to avoid over-proofing. You may also need to adjust the baking time slightly.
How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls the night before and let them rise in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature. Be sure to cover them well to prevent drying out. Bake them in the morning as instructed for fresh rolls.
What type of nuts work best in this recipe?
Chopped pecans or walnuts are excellent choices as they complement the butterscotch flavor perfectly. If you prefer a milder taste, slivered almonds can also work well. Just make sure to toast them lightly for added flavor.
