Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
- Layer chopped nuts and frozen dinner rolls in the pan.
- In a bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and butterscotch pudding mix.
- Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolls in the pan.
- Melt butter or margarine and pour it over the entire layered mixture.
- Cover with a towel and let stand overnight at room temperature.
- In the morning, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a nut mix that includes pecans or walnuts. If you prefer a different flavor profile, swap the butterscotch pudding with vanilla or chocolate pudding. To save time, you can also use homemade dough instead of frozen dinner rolls, but ensure it has risen adequately before layering. Make sure the butter is fully melted for even distribution.
Serving Suggestions
These delicious rolls are perfect for brunch or a cozy breakfast. Serve them warm with a drizzle of icing or a side of fresh fruit for a bright contrast. They pair beautifully with coffee or a hot cup of tea. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a light salad like Sour Cream And Apple Coleslaw to balance the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls and let them sit overnight as described. If you want to make them even earlier, you can assemble them and freeze before the final rise. Just make sure to thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
What can I use instead of butterscotch pudding?
If you don't have butterscotch pudding, you can substitute it with vanilla or caramel pudding mix. Each will provide a unique flavor that complements the cinnamon and sugar beautifully.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
