    Why You’ll Love this Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring Recipe

    • Quick to Prepare– using only 6 simple ingredients, this sticky ring can be made and oven ready in just a few minutes.
    • Packed with Flavor– combining fluffy biscuits with a brown sugar glaze and chopped pecans, you have a combination that will make any mouth water.
    • Perfect for any Occasion– the perfect anytime treat whether serving for a weekend breakfast treat, brunch, an evening dessert, or snack!
    • Budget Friendly– most of the ingredients needed are ones you may already have on hand. As for the biscuits, although I love using Pillsbury grands biscuits, any brand of buttermilk biscuits works great too. Use whichever you can find on sale.

    Ingredients needed to make this Canned Biscuit Sticky Bun Recipe

    Below is a brief overview of each ingredient needed for this easy breakfast ring. To see printable recipe card with exact amounts, scroll to the bottom of this post.

    • Biscuits– I use 1 ½ tubes of Grands Buttermilk Biscuits. Whether you use Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits or store brand, use whatever you can find easily and on sale.
    • Butter– I use unsalted butter, however, salted butter works great too. You will need melted butter, so stick it in the microwave for a few seconds to melt.
    • Syrup– you’ll need ½ cup pancake syrup, or maple syrup. Any brand works, use what you have on hand.
    • Brown Sugar– I use light brown sugar, this adds to the overall sweetness and once combined with the other ingredients, it creates a caramel type flavor throughout.
    • Cinnamon– ground cinnamon adds to the warm spice.
    • Pecans– optional, but highly recommended. You will need ½ cup chopped pecans or other chopped nuts such as walnuts or almonds.

    all the ingredients needed to make a sticky bun breakfast ring.

    How to make Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring

    1. Spray a Bundt pan with non-stick spray and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    2. In a small bowl, add the melted butter and syrup together.
    3.  In a separate bowl, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans together.
    4. Pour half of the syrup mixture into bottom of the Bundt pan.
    5. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture in fluted pan.
    6. Next, lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, making sure to overlap the edges together. *You will be forming a vertical ring.
    7. Pour remaining syrup and cinnamon sugar mixtures on top of biscuits and place pan in preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
    8.  Once cooked, remove from oven and allow to cool 2-3 minutes before you invert onto a serving platter. Serve!!

        Aww thanks! I use the 8-count package, I believe it is 16 oz. You will end up using about 13-14 biscuits total in this! Enjoy!

      ARE THE BISCUITS SUPPOSE TO LAY FLAT IN THE BUNDT PAN OR STANDING THEM ON THEIR SIDES (VERTICAL). THE PICTURE LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE VERTICAL…

        Yes, sorry about that, they are somewhat vertical to form a ring within the pan 🙂
