These easy maple sticky buns are ooey, gooey and taste amazing. The best part is they only take 4 ingredients and take less than a half hour to make, so they don’t have to wait for a special occasion. Celebrate the weekend with maple cinnamon breakfast goodness.

If you want the taste of fresh cinnamon rolls without all of the effort, this recipe is for you. It starts with a tube of cinnamon rolls but adds a sticky maple caramel sauce to take them to the next level.

So you don’t have to mess with yeast or a rolling pin. Just melt together some brown sugar, maple syrup and butter and you are ready to go!

If you think those tiktok cinnamon rolls with heavy cream are good, you are really in for a sticky maple flavored treat here. These rolls are sort of like monkey bread, but easier to make too.

These Maple Sticky Buns Are:

• Easy to make in under 30 minutes
• Rich and decadent
• Full of pure maple syrup flavor
• Sweet and gooey

Easy Adaptations

If you like pecans in your sticky bun, feel free to add a half cup of chopped nuts to the maple sauce. My guys prefer their sticky buns nut free, so we leave them out.

For even bigger cinnamon flavor, add a half teaspoon of cinnamon to the caramel sauce.

If you are going extra big, drizzle the frosting from the cinnamon roll tube over your sticky buns. Your sweet tooth will surely be satisfied that way.

Tips and Tricks

You want to heat the sauce just enough to melt the butter and dissolve the brown sugar. You don’t want to bring it to a boil and start to caramelize the sugars.

Boiling the mixture can start to caramelize it and will make it too thick. You want it to be nice and ooey gooey.

Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for just a couple of minutes before you dump them out. Letting them cool for too long with result in them sticking to the pan.

You want to invert them while the maple sauce is still hot and loose, so they slide right out. And using a rimmed plate is a good idea in case the sauce is still so warm that is wants to run a bit.

More Fun Cinnamon Roll Recipes:

If you want to go whole hog and break out the yeast, try making my potato dough cinnamon rolls. They centers are so soft and they remind me of the big cinnamon rolls you get at the mall.

Or try making one great big skillet cinnamon roll. Then you can get lots of layers and any size slice you would like.
