Amazing Sticky Buns
I look forward to Christmas every year just for these Sticky Buns. My boy’s grandma introduced me to them, and then we were instantly hooked! And they have been a family tradition ever since. Not only are they insanely delicious, but they are so easy to make!
An ooey, gooey caramel-like glaze on tops of delicious pull-apart bread makes it easy to see why everyone goes crazy over these. I love a delicious overnight meal option because then I can take the time to prepare it, and once the crazy morning hits, we already have breakfast (and a delicious one at that!) waiting. These sticky buns are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and they feed a crowd!

Making Homemade Sticky Buns
They are super easy and quick to throw together too! Using frozen dough is the big secret and what. makes this makes so effortless. You are going to love everything about these.
- Place: Place the chopped nuts in a well-greased bundt pan. Then evenly distribute 20 frozen rolls.
- Sprinkle: Pour the pudding mix powder over the rolls. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Melt: In a microwave bowl, mix the butter and the brown sugar. Drizzle over the rolls.
- Cover: Cover and let rise in a cool place overnight.
- Bake: In the morning, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 min. Let cool in the pan for 5 min, then turn out onto a plate or platter and serve.
Tips and Variations
- Nuts: While using pecans is optional, adding them to the sticky buns adds a delightful crunch. But if you prefer walnuts, you can use them instead.
- Brown, don’t Burn: To prevent the tops from burning, cover the sticky buns with a sheet of aluminum foil after the first 10 minutes of cooking.
- Prevent Dripping: If you are worried about caramel dripping over the sides, place the bundt pan on a cookie sheet while baking.
- Pan: If you don’t have a bundt pan, you can use a 9×13 pan instead. Grease the pan, arrange the nuts, and place the rolls in a single layer on top. Pour the mixture of pudding, cinnamon, and butter over the rolls, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
