Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, melted margarine, milk, and vanilla pudding until well combined.
- Set the sugar mixture aside.
- Slice each loaf of bread into 12 slices.
- Break each slice into 2 or 3 pieces and place them in a greased 10 x 13-inch pan.
- Pour half of the sugar mixture over the bread pieces in the pan.
- Repeat with the other loaf of bread, placing the pieces over the first layer.
- Pour the remaining sugar mixture over all the bread pieces in the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the bread layers. If you're short on time, you can substitute the frozen bread dough with pre-made cinnamon rolls. Be sure to let the dough thaw properly for even baking. If using margarine, look for a stick variety for easier melting and mixing.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky buns are perfect for brunch and pair wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad or a warm cup of coffee. Consider serving them alongside a fruit-based dessert like Wisconsin Cranberry-Apple Pie for a delightful spread. They also make a great addition to any holiday gathering or special occasion.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes, covered with foil to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the sticky buns in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the sticky buns the night before. Assemble them in the pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the morning, allow them to come to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
Can I freeze sticky buns?
Absolutely! You can freeze the baked sticky buns for up to 3 months. Just make sure they are completely cooled before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. To enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as needed.
What can I use instead of margarine?
