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!

  • Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe

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.
