Night Before Warm Sticky Buns
Warm, sticky cinnamon buns with pecans and butterscotch flavor, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch treat that easily feeds a group overnight.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a Bundt pan or one-piece tube pan with cooking oil and arrange the frozen roll pieces in the pan.
- Sprinkle the butterscotch pudding mix over the rolls.
- Add cinnamon and pecans over the rolls.
- Melt the margarine and brown sugar, then pour over the rolls.
- Cover with a towel and set out on the counter overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a high-quality frozen roll, and ensure the butterscotch pudding mix is the cook-and-serve variety, as instant won't yield the same gooey texture. You can substitute margarine with butter for richer flavor. Feel free to add raisins or swap pecans for walnuts if you prefer, enhancing the nutty taste. A sprinkle of nutmeg can also complement the cinnamon nicely.
Serving Suggestions
These warm sticky buns are delightful served fresh out of the pan, drizzled with a bit of cream cheese frosting or accompanied by a side of fresh fruit. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a brunch spread, consider serving alongside dishes like French Toastdallas, Texas or a light salad for balance.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, ensuring they stay moist and delicious.
