Sticky Bun Breakfast Syrup

July 20, 2014 by Mirlandra 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This Sticky Bun Breakfast Syrup tastes exactly like warm sticky bun sauce got poured on your pancakes. It is rich, full of cinnamon and ready in minutes.

A stack of pancakes is covered with sticky bun pancake syrup with a pat of butter on the top.

In college I went home with a friend for the weekend and her dad made sticky buns.  I was enchanted.  What was this magical food?  In the end, I spent more of the weekend learning cooking tips from my friend’s dad than I did with her. After that, I was hooked.  My sticky bun experiments took me far and wide.  Somewhere along the way I realized that it takes less than 10 minutes to make the sauce but three hours to bake the rolls up.  Because I am The Smartest Woman Ever I started making Sticky Bun Breakfast Syrup and it has been awesome.  Rich, spicy with cinnamon, and perfectly gooey, this syrup is a testimony to the value of a perfect recipe.

Serve over pancakes, French toast, monkey bread, ice cream or anything else that needs a dollop of sweet, rich and cinnamony. This is one of my Go To recipes for company, birthday breakfasts, and holiday brunches.  It’s one of those recipes that will inspire you to have elevenses and maybe even a late afternoon snack too!

If you have any leftover (possible but not probable) you can store it in the refrigerator indefinitely.  Warm gently in the microwave as needed.

If you need pancakes to go with your syrup, these buttermilk pancakes are really pretty much perfect!  The recipe is easy and makes the best pancakes I have ever had.

    This Sticky Bun syrup is amazing. I don’t really care for the grocery store stuff except for the expensive brands and I hate to pay that much…and now I don’t have to. OMG…..so good and you can keep it and reheat as needed. Just pop in the micro and you’re good to go. Thank You!!

    I can’t find your recipe for monkey bread or sticky buns using dinner rolls, etc.

    I wish I could upload my photo of warm homemade bread (your cast iron skillet bread recipe at https://www.mirlandraskitchen.com/cast-iron-skillet-bread-2/ ) chopped up in a bowl with this syrup over it! DELICIOUS. I had just a little syrup left over after making your sticky buns (with your better than Cinnabon recipe: https://www.mirlandraskitchen.com/cinnabon-cinnamon-rolls/ ). Truly, these are comfort food masterpieces! I’m already looking forward to making sticky buns again this Christmas.
