Sweet, gooey caramel rolls with warm cinnamon and buttery flavors, perfect for a quick breakfast or indulgent snack, suitable for sharing with family or friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Microwave brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a pie plate for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth.
- Cut the biscuits into fourths and place them in the pie plate.
- Stir to coat the biscuits with the caramel mixture.
- Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture. If you don't have light brown sugar, you can substitute it with granulated sugar and a bit of molasses. Be careful not to overcook the biscuits in the microwave; they should be fluffy and soft. If you want a nutty twist, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top before microwaving.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky caramel rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be served as a delightful breakfast or a sweet treat any time of day. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy experience. For a more indulgent dessert, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which complements the caramel flavor beautifully. They also make a delicious side for brunch gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sticky caramel rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place a roll in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm, or you can warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?
Absolutely! You can use homemade biscuit dough for a fresher taste. Just make sure to cut the dough into similar-sized pieces as the canned biscuits to ensure even cooking. This can elevate your rolls and is a great way to customize the recipe.
How do I prevent the rolls from becoming too soggy?
To prevent sogginess, ensure that you don't overload the pie plate with too many biscuits. The caramel mixture should coat them evenly but not drown them. You can also let the rolls sit for a minute after microwaving to allow the excess moisture to evaporate.
Can I make these sticky caramel rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the caramel mixture and cut the biscuits ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble just before microwaving for a quick treat. This makes them perfect for busy mornings or last-minute gatherings.
