Easy Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring with Canned Biscuits

Whip up an irresistibly gooey and delicious breakfast treat that will have everyone gathering around the table. This Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring uses simple refrigerator biscuits to create a stunning pull-apart centerpiece, drenched in a warm, buttery caramel-cinnamon sauce. It’s the perfect easy recipe for lazy weekend mornings, holiday celebrations, or any time you’re craving a sweet start to your day.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe comes together with just a handful of simple pantry staples:

  • Biscuits: 2 (7.5 oz) small tubes of refrigerator buttermilk biscuits, OR 1 (16.3 oz) tube of Pillsbury Grands! buttermilk biscuits.
  • Butter: 3 tablespoons, melted.
  • Pancake Syrup: 1/2 cup of your favorite brand (we used Mrs. Butterworth’s for that classic flavor).
  • Brown Sugar: 1/3 cup, packed light brown sugar.
  • Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  • Nuts (Optional): 1/4 cup chopped pecans and/or 1/4 cup chopped almonds for extra crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously spray a fluted Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure your sticky buns release easily.
  2. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and pancake syrup until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a separate small bowl, mix the packed brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if you’re using them).
  4. Assemble the First Layer: Pour about half of the butter and syrup mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the syrup.
  5. Arrange the Biscuits: Open the biscuit tubes and lay the raw biscuits in a single layer on the bottom of the pan, overlapping their edges slightly to form a continuous ring.
  6. Add the Final Toppings: Drizzle the remaining syrup mixture over the biscuits, followed by a final sprinkle of the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and a deep golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for just 1 minute. This allows the sauce to set slightly but not harden. Place a large serving platter over the pan and confidently invert it. The ring should slide right out. Serve warm and enjoy!

Baker’s Notes & Variations

For a Fuller Ring: If you’re using Pillsbury Grands! and feel one tube isn’t quite enough for your pan, you can use 1 ½ tubes. Simply increase the baking time to about 30 minutes to ensure the center is fully cooked.

Get Creative: Feel free to add 1/4 cup of raisins or dried cranberries to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a chewy, fruity twist!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I prepare this sticky bun ring ahead of time?
This recipe is best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven for the gooiest texture. However, you can prep the components the night before. Mix your dry ingredients in one container and your wet ingredients in another. In the morning, just assemble and bake.
2. What kind of pan is best for this recipe?
A fluted tube pan, commonly known as a Bundt pan, works best. The central tube ensures the biscuits cook evenly all the way through, and the fluted design gives the final ring a beautiful, decorative shape.
3. I don’t have pancake syrup. What can I use as a substitute?
Pure maple syrup is an excellent substitute and will provide a rich, classic flavor. In a pinch, you could also use an equal amount of honey or agave nectar, though this will slightly alter the final taste and consistency.
4. Can I make this recipe without nuts?
Absolutely! The nuts are listed as optional. If you have a nut allergy or simply prefer a nut-free version, you can omit them completely. The sticky bun ring will still be incredibly delicious without the added crunch.
5. How should I store leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, you can warm individual portions in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to bring back that soft, gooey texture.
