Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns, so easy to make and so good, you’ll want to make them every weekend!
I should probably name these the lost rolls. I made these rolls almost 2 months ago. Just like I always do, I had a piece of paper and was writing down my measurements as I created, crossing out, making adjustments, spilling on my paper. Just a normal day in my kitchen. I always have that piece of paper right next to my mixer. It’s never a big deal. I usually Will transfer the recipe to the computer while my recipe is in the oven.
But it didn’t happen this time. Someone slept over. I think it was one of Grace’s friends. I can’t even remember. But I didn’t get the recipe into the computer. And then I lost my piece of paper! I searched everywhere. On the counter, in the drawers. I even started shaking out cookbooks. That paper was gone.
These rolls were good. I mean really good. Like burn your fingertips trying to get the last of the caramel out of the pan before it’s cooled, good. Like the caramel seeped into the twist of the rolls, making every bite a delicious, sugary, caramely bite. So this past weekend, my son stepped into the kitchen with me to recreate the magic. And we did. In fact, I think we made it even better the second time.

Do you think I could make the dough in the bread machine?
Lacey, I’m sure you could, just follow your machine’s instructions for dough only.

Wow, these rolls look sooo good Joan. I can imagine waking up to the smell of these on the weekend, yum.
These look freaking awesome! Sticky buns are the bomb and these look extra sticky! It’s great that you were able to replicate and even improve the recipe after losing it.
Could I have a pan of these just for me? Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
You are featured this week on Busy Monday at A Pinch of Joy! I hope you will stop by and grab a Featured Button from the Button Box on the sidebar. Pinned.
I made these today and dough was very wet. Is it supposed to be? I didn’t add extra flour i thought I’d see how they turned out and they were fab even nice in the evening as well 🙂
Hi Kirsty, compared to most bread doughs, this one will be a little sticky but should still be manageable. If you you find it too hard to work with you can always add a little more flour. Glad you enjoyed them!
I made these the other day for the first time – just amazing. I added caramel sauce with the filling before rolling up. Then when it came out the oven, poured the rest over, added the topping and then poured white icing over that – was just deeeevine. Thank you for a great recipe. Going to make this for my mom’s 90th birthday next year and my grandson’s christening in 2 weeks time mmmmm!!!!! Thank you again and I wish you a wonderful festive season 🙂 🙂 xxx 🙂 🙂
So glad you enjoyed them!
I made this in a monkey bread type it was amazing I doubled almost tripled the filling and Caramel sauce it came out perfect
Fun tip: to perfectly cut the cinnamon rolls, use floss! Slide it underneath roll and bring ends together! You will not be dissapointed!
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I searched through many, many recipes looking for the perfect one with the gooey goodness that I was wanting and I settled on this one. I have no regrets. It is perfect just the way it is written! These things are so good they are dangerous!
You’re so welcome Connie! I’m happy you like these so much! 🙂
Question number two! When I made these last time I followed the recipe aa written, and they were spectacular. Now I would like to make them again, but assemble them during the day and bake them the next morning. I have researched a few other recipes that do this, but I wanted to ask you since I have had inconsistent results when I do this with cinnamon rolls. Would you recommend I let them rise a little before putting them in the refrigerator or just let them rise assembled in the refrigerator? I could also take them out In the morning and let them rise some then. What do you recommend?
So glad you enjoyed these. If you want to make them the night before, I’d prepare the rolls then place them in the fridge before any rising occurs. They will still rise in the refrigerator. In the morning, remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature before baking.
