Sweet Rolls(Easy)
Sweet rolls with a caramel pecan topping and cinnamon flavor, perfect for a comforting breakfast or dessert, appealing to those who enjoy warm, gooey baked treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put pecans in the bottom of a greased Bundt pan.
- Arrange about 24 frozen rolls on top of the pecans.
- Sprinkle dry instant butterscotch pudding mix over the rolls.
- Melt butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together and pour over the rolls.
- Cover the pan and let sit at room temperature for 12 hours.
- Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the melted butter mixture. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be great substitutes. To save time, you can use pre-made dough instead of frozen rolls. Ensure the rolls are evenly spaced for uniform baking, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Serving Suggestions
These sweet rolls are perfect for brunch or as a delightful dessert. Serve them warm, drizzled with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee. For a complete meal, serve alongside Asparagus With Nut Butter Sauce for a balanced table.
Storage & Reheating
After baking, let the sweet rolls cool completely before storing. Keep leftovers 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 them in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them the night before and let them rise overnight as directed. Just cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Bake them in the morning for fresh, warm rolls ready for breakfast.
What can I use instead of butterscotch pudding?
If you don't have instant butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding mix is an excellent alternative. It will still provide a sweet and creamy flavor, complementing the cinnamon and brown sugar perfectly.
Can I freeze the sweet rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls before the final rise. Just arrange them in the Bundt pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze. When ready to bake, thaw in the fridge overnight and allow them to rise at room temperature before baking.
