Butterscotch Coffeecake
A decadent overnight coffeecake with butterscotch and cinnamon flavors, ideal for breakfast or brunch, featuring sweet, gooey layers from frozen dough and rich toppings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- The night before baking, place individual rolls (still frozen) in a well-greased tube pan.
- Mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, butterscotch pudding mix, and cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle the dry mixture over the rolls in the pan.
- Pour melted margarine over the top of the dry mixture.
- Leave uncovered on the counter overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the rolls before sprinkling the sugar mixture. If you want a lighter version, substitute half of the margarine with unsweetened applesauce. To enhance the butterscotch flavor, try using a butterscotch sauce drizzle on top after baking. Make sure to use a well-greased pan to prevent sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade roll dough instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use homemade roll dough if you prefer. Just ensure that it is sufficiently chilled and has risen appropriately before arranging it in the pan. The baking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
Is it possible to make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare everything the night before and simply let it sit overnight as instructed. In the morning, bake it directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's cold.
Can I substitute the butterscotch pudding mix?
If you don't have butterscotch pudding mix, you can use vanilla pudding mix as a substitute. It will alter the flavor slightly, but it will still create a deliciously sweet coffeecake. You could also try using caramel pudding mix for a similar taste.
