Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
- Place frozen rolls in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle brown sugar, butterscotch pudding, white sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts over the rolls.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the ingredients.
- Cover and let sit overnight on the counter.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using cinnamon roll dough instead of frozen rolls for added flavor. You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free option. If you want a caramelized topping, add a layer of caramel sauce under the rolls before baking. Make sure to let the rolls rise in a warm place overnight for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Gooey Pull-Apart warm for the best experience, drizzled with a little extra melted butter or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat. For a fun twist, consider serving alongside the Treat-To-Eat Cake for a delicious dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes to restore their gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the Gooey Pull-Apart the night before and let it rise overnight. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. In the morning, simply bake it as directed for a warm, fresh breakfast treat.
What can I use instead of butterscotch pudding?
If you don’t have butterscotch pudding, vanilla or caramel pudding mix works well as a substitute, providing a similar sweetness and texture. You can also experiment with chocolate pudding for a different flavor profile.
Can I freeze the Gooey Pull-Apart?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked assembled rolls. Wrap the Bundt pan tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and let it rise at room temperature before baking as directed.
